It's been mentioned at various VPump pages, relevant userpages, and metapages, over the past few months, to no avail. I'm not sure how/where else to get this issue the attention it seems to need (and I don't have the background to spearhead the effort). Any assistance would be appreciated.

I posted this to foundation-l and wikipedia-l a week ago, with no response, so am now reposting to those, plus wikien-l.

Well, the short answer seems to be that no one cares. ;) There's no pressing reason to change anything.
The long answer is, I asked Nohat if we could get a copy of as much of the source files as he has for the logo (which would be helpful if we ever did want tot make changes, as well as if we want to make other alternate versions) and haven't heard back from him.
