just _looks_ that way
because:
1) the new logo has more space in it, in particular at the top
2) the new logo is typically viewed with Vector, which has more space
around the logo than monobook did. Take a look at the new logo with
?useskin=monobook and I think you'll find it looks "larger". In fact,
monobook crowded the logo a bit uncomfortably.
For use in Vector, I think the logo could be made larger, as it
currently does not fill the space set aside for it. Vector handles the
spacing; the logo doesn't need to have padding in the image as well.

Come on. The v2 *is* smaller.
Open
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/Wiki.png and
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png
on two different tabs and switch between them.
You will notice the change from italic to normal, that the W was bigger
(bolder?) on the previous logo (we may want to increase it on v2) and
that the ball was bigger.
And by bigger I mean that on the previous logo the borders of the circle
reached the left border of the W and the right of the A.
The v2 goes from the middle of the W to 25% of the A.
This is not a visual effect. Put your cursor on the right border of the
globe and change tabs. Whoops, now there is almost a full piece to the
border.
