Erik,

There was a global (not Wiktionary) vote many months ago that decided 
for the scrabble logo, which had very little support among actual 
Wiktionarians, and was largely ignored. There is no standard logo. Some 
projects adopted the scrabble logo anyway, but I can't speak for them. 
Some of it may been from the mistaken belief that this was some 
"official" logo mandated by the Foundation. For various reasons, not 
just the copyright issue, en.wikt has very little love for that logo in 
my experience--which is not to say that the current one is popular. 
Basically, it's in permanent limbo, and most of us have returned to our 
regular work and stopped bothering about it.
