"There is no such thing as a "Tardis Index File" within any DW narrative, so our name perpetuates a lie"


 * Is this really important in the grand scheme of things? Just because it isn't in the narrative doesn't mean it can't be used as the wiki's name. It's been used for the past years without any complaint.

"Wikia markets us as 'Tardis'" "We uniquely can link to our pages by two different names, neither of which contain 'index file'"


 * That's perfectly fine. I can't see how this has any bearing on the wiki being 'Tardis Index File'

"The proposed logo implies both of these link names"


 * So does the current one, so this is also a null point.

"From a design standpoint, it's massively easier to to deal with two words totalling 10 letters than three words totalling 15 — particularly when you're talking about the very confined space of the wordmark in the upper left-hand corner. Five letters may not seem like much, but it's obviously a third of the total width, meaning that the shortened logo will appear bigger, bolder and clearer."


 * I concede to your view on this point. Wordmark design is easier with less characters. However, this does not change my overall opinion.

Now if I may address CzechOut directly, I think you need to be a little less critical of the other comments here and allow the community to make the decision.
