==Logo and slogan== Since Wikisource was initially called "Project Sourceberg", its first logo was a picture of an [[iceberg]].<ref name=ayersmatthewsyates /> Two votes conducted to choose a successor were inconclusive, and the original logo remained until 2006. Finally, for both legal and technical reasons—because the picture's license was inappropriate for a Wikimedia Foundation logo and because a photo cannot scale properly—a stylized vector iceberg inspired by the original picture was mandated to serve as the project's logo. The first prominent use of Wikisource's slogan—''The Free Library''—was at the project's [[:oldwikisource:Main Page|multilingual portal]], when it was redesigned based upon the Wikipedia portal on August 27, 2005, (historical version).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=158605 |title=Wikisource.org |publisher=Wikisource.org |date=2005-08-27 |access-date=2011-07-05 |archive-date=2013-11-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110052505/http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=158605 |url-status=live }}</ref> As in the Wikipedia portal the Wikisource slogan appears around the logo in the project's ten largest languages. Clicking on the portal's central images (the iceberg logo in the center and the "Wikisource" heading at the top of the page) links to a ''[[:oldwikisource:Wikisource|list of translations]]'' for ''Wikisource'' and ''The Free Library'' in 60 languages.
