As part of a new series, TechRadar Pro has asked designers from freelance platform Fiverr to give the branding of a selection of well-known companies a makeover.

The idea isn't to return to the drawing board completely, only to imagine what famous branding might look like with a few tweaks here and there.

Last time round, a design expert reworked the Twitter logo and UI. This time, UK-based designer Kevinsdesign gave Wikipedia the same treatement, and also talked us through his decision-making process. Here's what he came up with:

Overall goal"To reinvision the digital product of Wikipedia focusing on a way to enhance the user experience for a particular user group or flow."

Research"This project was largely based on my personal insights and thoughts on best practice, however I was keen to do a small micro research project - this took the form of 4 timeline interviews. These interviews encouraged the user to talk about past experiences with Wikipedia, their goals and frictions points."

Homepage"Ill be honest the homepage of Wikipedia is a page I have never visited until now, not a single person brought it up in the interviews, so to be perfectly honest I saw this as a nice opportunity to make some UI porn. I took what was there and visually reinvisioned it, I wanted to create a design that gave a feel or knowledge and respectability but also fun and modern."

"In terms of function I did add in a few new things like language selection being brought to the forefront and a more prominent search bar."

Article page"Aside from just a general restyle of the article page and just making it look a little cooler, a few ideas came out of the research:

Accessibility"This is where I spent the most time. Wikipedia is accessed by billions worldwide with the common goal of consuming written articles, however reading isnt a given for everyone, between 5-10% of the population are dyslexic (myself included), even more have visual impairments and so on. Things like colour contrast, font size, and even black text on white backgrounds can make content very hard to consume."

"I asked the question could I bake in accessibility options to the new design that would break down these barriers and make Wikipedia more accessible to people. The new accessibility option in the menu allows user to customize the setting to their needs, be it making the font size bigger, making the content seizure safe, changing the font to child friendly and even adding a color overlay to the article which for many dyslexics massively helps them read."

We asked an expert to redesign Wikipedia - here's what they came up with - TechRadar

These are interesting times in Northern Ireland. Yesterday, Arlene Foster announced she'll be standing down as Northern Ireland's First Minister. While it may seem remarkable to those of us down here, Foster was seen by many in her own party as 'too moderate' and her decision to abstain on a vote on gay conversion therapy is seen as playing a major role in the heave against her by the grassroots of the DUP.

The bookies favourite to be next First Minister is Edwin Poots. Interestingly, Poots has reportedly said he'd only take the role if he'd also be DUP leader. The Lisburn MLA is currently Northern Ireland's agriculture minister, and Poots will be manna for heaven for the hardliners in the DUP if his wikipedia page is anything to go by.

Like a lot of people on this island, we paid Poots' wikipedia page a visit this morning and were surprised to see some of the quotes correctly attributed to the man in the 'Personal Views' section

Poots is a proud creationist. He told the BBC:"My view on the earth is that it's a young earth. My view is 4,000 BC".

In that same interview, he explained his suspicion of the Big Bang Theory:

You're telling me that cosmic balls of dust gathered and there was an explosion. We've had lots of explosions in Northern Ireland and I've never seen anything come out of that that was good. And you look at this earth and you tell me that there was a big bang and all of a sudden all that is good about this earth came out of it?

In 2012, Poots banned blood donations from gay people. He explained the reasoning behind the ban to the BBC. However, he wanted to extend the ban.

"I think that people who engage in high-risk sexual behaviour in general should be excluded from giving blood... And so someone who has sex with somebody in Africa or sex with prostitutes, I am very reluctant about those people being able to give blood."

On the occasion of Arlene Foster becoming First Minister in 2016, Poots also said that Foster's most important job is as a 'wife, mother and daughter'. He explained that 'when I was Health Minister, I used to say that it was my second most important job, the most important one being a husband, father and son.'

In the same interview, he confirmed that his nickname is Pootsy.

Again, all of these quotes are real and are there to be found on the internet. A lot of this was said between 2006 and 2012 and there's a chance Pootsy - who's had both covid and cancer in the past year - has mellowed with age. We hope his views have *ahem* evolved with time.

It was definitely divisive. And the legal wrangling was intense. But Hasbrouck Heights, under pressure to raise the pride flag for Gay Pride Month alongside the United States flag, the New Jersey state flag, and the prisoners of war flag, voted the motion down, 4-2.

For the uninitiated, June is recognized as Gay Pride Month. The pride flag is a rainbow flag that represents the LGBTQ community.

I feel for people who felt they needed to fight this fight. I feel for people who want to have their communities respected and recognized. The problem is, flying the pride flag opens up a can of worms. It means that every protected group in the state might feel slighted that their flag representing their group isnt flown, too.

And if you do a little research, youll find that there are thousands of groups with thousands of flags in New Jersey and country wide. There are more groups than youd think who have a flag thats important to them: Political flags, religious flags, cultural and ethnic flags.

Just a few I can name here are the thin blue line flag, the Black Lives Matter flag, Antifa and QAnon flags.

The American legion and Vietnam veterans both have a flag. So does the 4H club. Theres a Masonic flag. And the Boy Scouts of America have a flag. Who knew?

Plenty of upstanding and deserving American citizens belong to groups that deserve to be celebrated.

Do a quick Wikipedia search of ethnic flags and youll see there arent enough flagpoles in New Jersey to fly them all. Hasbrouck Heights had to do what it had to do and so this doesnt turn into the war of the flags, lets hope that other towns in New Jersey dont get pressured by any protected groups to fly their flags.

Many of the actresses in this story not only made a name for themselves through their collection of iconic performances, but also through the selfless, philanthropic nature with which many of them approached their stardom. In an age of flipping the script on societal norms, many of these actresses are using their voices and platforms to be advocates for those who are otherwise unheard.

Through the Moleskine Foundation and WikiAfrica, students are trying to address the lack of information about Africa on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia, one of the most well-known and frequently visited sites on the internet today, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its founding in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. The site has more than 56 million articles in 321 languages, but the site's creators are using the anniversary as an opportunity to highlight one of the biggest criticisms of the site: the lack of information about Africa.

Wikipedia is the 10th-most visited site on earth, but in an interview, Adama Sanneh, co-founder and CEO of the Moleskine Foundation, explained that there are more entries about the City of Paris than about the entire African continent.

To address this problem, Wikipedia has worked with Sanneh, the Moleskine Foundation and thousands of young people across the continent to add more information about the dozens of countries and cultures across Africa.

In an interview, Sanneh said young Africans are now creating, expanding and enhancing Wikipedia content about Africa into more than 17 African languages including Swahili, Igbo and Yoruba. Much of this new information includes lifesaving COVID-19 content related to vaccination and social distancing.

The Moleskine Foundation's WikiAfrica Education initiative immerses young people in experiences that combine knowledge and activism, inspiring them to participate in the production of knowledge, rather than just its consumption.

Sanneh said that since helping to launch WikiAfrica in 2006 with a number of different groups, it has generated over 40,000 Wikipedia contributions, and over 200 articles in 18 languages about COVID-19 in the past year alone. Sanneh, the son of an Italian mother and a Senegalese/Gambian father, has lived on both continents, and said misconceptions and misinformation about Africa shape the way the world sees the continentand even how Africans see themselves.

"We're missing a tremendous opportunity to tell the story from the perspective of the protagonist and really develop more language, more possibilities, more imagination. People on the continent don't see themselves reflected online. I grew up in Italy where, as a minority, I didn't exist. There is nothing online that can reflect my experience," Sanneh said.

"So we were looking for ways to tackle this. How can we support a creative process in which we can transform young people from passive knowledge consumers into active knowledge producers about themselves? Wikipedia is a great invention that allows you to do exactly this. Wikipedia allows you to tell your story, in your environment, using your own language."

Sanneh explained that one of the first events the organization held was a workshop in South Africa with the museum complex Constitution Hill.

They brought dozens of young people together to work on 12 Wikipedia entries or profiles on Black women that were erased by history. The articles garnered more than 200,000 views within a few days.

"It was really a moment where we could showcase how knowledge, creativity, activism and technology come together to transform one person, but through the transformation of one person, they enable the transformation of the community," he said.

For Sanneh, one of the biggest parts of the program is to empower young people across Africa to take control of their own narrative and take the initiative themselves to explain their cultures to the world.

Most of what has been written online about Africa has come from the West, and Sanneh has focused the Foundation's work on empowering a new generation of Wikipedia editors based in Africa.

"We don't have solutions, but what we try to do is encourage them to create change, learn about it themselves and use technology in a very scalable and effective way," he said.

Perry Mason Adams, a student and one of the Moleskine Foundation's most productive members, joined the organization's latest online campaign on COVID-19, aiming to write articles about the pandemic on Wikipedia in African languages.

"I collaborated with my mom to write the articles, and she did the proofreading and I did the translation of the base article in English to IsiXhosa and IsiZulu. The process was so enriching and eye-opening for the both of us. My mom said reading the article in isiZulu 'took her back to her schooling days' because there isn't enough material on the internet in our native tongues. I encourage everyone to join in and narrow the knowledge gap on the internet," Adams said.

"Being a part of this program means that I can be a part of the solution to bridging the knowledge gap on the internet, promoting the use and perseveration of our indigenous languages and doing such important work from a fresh perspective."

Adams said having information in local languages was pivotal for the future and cited a famous quote from former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela, who once said talking to a person in a language they understand goes into the person's head, but talking to the person in their native language goes to their heart.

Adams said seeing the reaction of his mother drove home the importance of using technology to preserve indigenous languages, and the need for local information about COVID-19 was vital.

"It has been both a learning and rewarding experience. Learning in the sense that it has made me more curious about the use of our indigenous languages. Rewarding being, a part of the generation that not only uses the language but preserves it as well," Adams said.

Sanneh noted that much of his work was about using creativity and technology for social change while also providing spaces for young people across Africa to express themselves and share information.

The organization has started a new podcast titled "Creativity Pioneers" that focuses on solving inequality and racial injustice through creativity.

"We are a process-oriented organization and we believe that if we create this content, if we support young people to develop those tools, if we create spaces where these young people can thrive and can exercise their criticality imagination, then we can really have the possibility to create some change," he said.

"We live in the creativity era. We live in an era where information is not at the center anymore. It's not enough anymore. Not even knowledge is at the core. The core is creativity, because the question is, how are we going to be able to use information and the knowledge? We believe that creative spaces are integral to giving a chance to many communitiesespecially marginalized communitiesto really build and imagine a different future."
