Husky, you may find Guillaume and Elian's presentation on the
different projects' visual identities at Wikimania of interest to you.

Hm, I don't think that this is confusing.
People remember the logo and
think of the X-ish Wiktionary, and then they remember another logo and
think of the Y-ish Wiktionary. Where is the problem? ;o)
That's exactly the
problem. People might assume that X and Y are two
different websites, while in essence they are not (they're just
different language editions of the same project). We already have
enough problems because people assume that every website starting with
'wiki' is a Wikimedia project, we shouldn't create such confusion
ourselves. If we want Wikimedia and it's projects to be recognizable
we should do everything we can to harmonize and simplify our image.
I totally agree. I mean, if the last logo is a problem for some language
communities of Wiktionary, then they're cordially invited to start another
process for a new logo that will suit all wiktionarians (and you might even
consider restricting this vote to wiktionarians, or whatever). But all
Wiktionary projects are of the same family. Having different logos would
only add more confusion about what MediaWiki wiki is a Wikimedia project or
not.
