It's been more than two years since the new Wikipedia logo has been produced, but dozens of wikis are still using the old one (sometimes not even a localised version at all), see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/2.0 for the missing pieces. Without Cary and Casey, moreover, nobody is actually available to produce the logos even when users show up with translations and fonts to be used. When will someone reach out to the missing wikis and offer help to create the new logo and deploy it?

For whoever takes this up: I made a big table with all of the existing logo translations and some that I asked people for: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Cbrown1023/Logos. This is a large amount of the work. What remains is creating logos that haven't been created yet and installing it in new wikis (changing $wgLogo). Then we need to figure out what's still missing and see about reaching out to get more translations.
Once that's all done, someone needs to verify that the logos that people created and updated actually meet the visual identity guidelines. A lot of them are too big or too small or disproportionate.
