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)
