''"Quit rubbing that plastic bar of soap on the desk!"''

''See the [[HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive 7|original, '''very long''' discussion]].''

In late 2006, the decision was made to redesign the wiki logo. In the end, a modified version of the original logo was chosen: [[Homestar Runner]] grinning in front of an [[Old New Intro]]-style background and blinking once every twenty-five seconds. More information about this process is available at [[HRWiki:A History|HRWiki:A History#Logo]]. An archive of the completed discussion is available [[HRWiki talk:Logo redesign 2006|here]].

Below are some of the logo designs that were created and considered in this process.

| [[Homestar Runner]] in front of a transition between [[The Field]] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/skins/monobook/headbg-kb.jpg the Wiki background].
