Just ended a lengthy lurking to add my two cents. As far as the name goes, My suggestion would be something like Kanzenshuu, a portmanteau of Kanzentai/Kanzenban and Daizenshuu/DaizEX, but also has the added bonus of meaning something like perfect gathering. A perfect gathering of DragonBall information. Fitting yes, but there are concerns about titles like this being inaccessible to the mainstream DragonBall fan. That may be true, but I wouldn't write it off just yet. I think the target audience for this wiki would be people who want to know what these words mean. Will naming it something unfamiliar to the average DB fan make it harder to find? Well, the success of this site may be some indication.
Keep in mind, there will be a lot of users who will browse the site and say "Kuririn?? Gyu-mao?? What is this bullshit?" and then storm off to the nearest Dragon Ball Wikia.

I guess my point is, cater to the fans who want to learn. And learning about DragonBall involves learning a little Japanese too.

We've already discussed that possible name, Kanzenshuu is unappealing and the common Dragon Ball fan won't get it. I'd still recommend, and yes, I rushed making this....

That is extremely cool! Do you mind sticking a horizontally parrallel, vertically matching (or maybe a
tad bit taller) Dragon Rader to the right of the text? Something sort of like this...
Or something like that, anyway.

A flash/gif of the words "DRAGON RADAR" popping up like "DRAGON BALL" does in the beginning of Makafushigi Adventure would be the pinnacle of awesome.

I think we have a name and logo, it looks pretty cool.

There's also users who will browse the Dragon Ball Wikia and say "Kogu? Fasha? What is this bullshit?", without having a place to storm off to. We need to create a shelter for them.
(PS, Mike, you need to add "Kogu" to the word filter)

I love how under "Fasha"'s alternate names, Selypa and its other spellings are all listed under "Korn", the name for her beta version that was never actually used in anything.
Who's Kogu?

WHAT?! How the hell is it Implied that Celypa was raped?!?!?
Well at least that was changed back.
What if he wasn't vandalising? What if he was just SPECULATING, which is all they seem to do?

That is... awesome! It pretty well combines both points that need to be gotten across for he wiki. Anyone who has ever been Wikipedia should associate that puzzle sphere with a wiki, and it is pretty obviously a Dragonball. Although, in a final draft, the color of the stars and the sphere itself are too similar; it took me a second to see them.

Hopefully I'll be able to draw the entire thing on my own, make it more cartoon-y and use the glassy look of the dragon balls, maybe.
I should definitely outline the stars a bit more...
And thanks, guys.

Make the logo more glassy and transparent with 3D stars in the middle. Like the Dragon Balls in "Path to Power."

And make the orange lighter... Kinda like the orange on a Skittle or a Tic-Tac...

Maybe you could use the Dragon Radar text along with that image in the way I described earlier? That could look pretty cool.

That looks perfect.
Dragon Ball ended in 1997.
