I like the idea of a shared logo. *However*, I don't see how we can expect the Hebrew wikipedia to adopt a logo that consists of English text, any more than the English wiki would adopt a logo in Hebrew.
well, yeah. that is a problem. We can either have each pedia translated the text, in which cae the logos are different but the same. Or we can have a language-neutral logo.

Each wikis is, after all, an independent internet website.
But whenever we talk about better links between them, people start saying "it's ONE encyclopedia in many languages!". Make up your mind!
The problem is that (YET AGAIN) people are focussing on STYLE OVER CONTENT. You do NOT make the he: pedia good by designing a flashy new logo & a new skin. You make it good by putting your nose to the grindstone and writing ARTICLES. It shouldn't matter what it looks like as long as it's clear and the content is good.
ONE skin, ONE logo, across all wikipedias, running the SAME SOFTWARE please. Let's present a unified front to the world, in many languages, instead of a hotch-potch patchwork of different colours and styles.
