I totally agree. I mean, if the last logo is a problem for some language
communities of Wiktionary, then they're cordially invited to start another
process for a new logo that will suit all wiktionarians (and you might even
consider restricting this vote to wiktionarians, or whatever). But all
Wiktionary projects are of the same family. Having different logos would
only add more confusion about what MediaWiki wiki is a Wikimedia project or
not.
