Hoi,
Apparantly it is an article of faith. At the same time the previous attempt
to another logo was imposed by people from outside of Wiktionary. This
attempt was not really appreciated by several Wiktionary projects and the
result is worse then what we had before.
So, some believe that there should be one logo to rule them all. Now how to
get to such a ruling?
By the way, with multiple logos, it can only be confusing to the people that
go to multiple wiktionaries and that are not familiar with both projects. In
reality it is not big an issue. It may be an issue when you think in
marketing terms but who is doing the marketing ??
Thanks,
GerardM

Of course, they can have a different name and in the
case of the 'old'
Wiktionary logo, also different text. But the general style of the
logo should be the same for all language versions. This is not the
case with the two Wiktionary logos, they are distinctively different.
If you have a project that should be recognized all over the world, by
anyone, without any confusion you shouldn't use two logos.
Let's assume for example that the German Wikipedia would use a
different logo than the English Wikipedia. That would be very
confusing for everyone. A logo is the first thing people remember and
notice about a website, and they use it to recognize it from other
websites.

I think this should be an important issue. It can
be confusing for
people visiting the website in multiple languages. All projects should
have an uniform logo.
Why? They have different layouts of the entries, different
conventions, and of course they are in different languages. So why
shouldn't they have different logos? :o)
