Yes, the situation is confusing and I guess we would like to have a uniform logo but as already stated in many further discussions (please see
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wiktionary-l/ 01/02/03 2007) people of _Wiktionary_ did not very much like the new logo and therefore most communities did not change anything.
Furthermore there is still this copyright problem (scrabble is a copyrighted trademark), please read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiktionary/logo#Trademark_infringement and also the not yet solved questions about which characters to choose in the logo.
It is a total chaos, imho.

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)
