4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The W3C would like to promote the visibility of the needs of the MultilingualWeb and the W3C Internationalization Activity. Previously the logo was used for a successful (and ongoing) series of workshops, then for the MultilingualWeb-LT WG. Now the use is being extended to cover the wider concept of MultilingualWeb. The new technology-specific logos have been designed to be part of the MultilingualWeb brand. As we move forward, we are likely to create and use more specific imagery for some of the technologies that make up the multilingual web, e.g., for T-shirts or mugs. In that context, we are likely to use familiar MW shape.

2. May I put this logo on stickers, t-shirts, etc?

Yes, please, we encourage creative uses of the logo! Be creative, have fun, and show your support.

3. May I change the colors and size of the logo?

Yes. (See the usage policy.)

4. May I create a local copy of a MultilingualWeb logo or button?

Yes. You may wish to check periodically for updates from W3C (e.g., to account for small changes or new formats).

5. What characters were used in the design?

The shape of the 'M' and 'W' for Multilingual Web, fused together, and fused with over and under bars, was originally derived from a stylised version of a non-Latin character, U+03E2 COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER SHEI.
