I agree 100% that there should be a common brand to all Wiktionary projects.

I also understand why the majority of them haven't adopted the proposed logo.

I'm glad that this has been brought to Foundation-l, and
wholeheartedly support a reconsideration of this decision with a
broader audience—after all, a project's logo affects the overall
Wikimedia brand identity, not just those closely involved with that
project.

For my money, by the way, I think we should start over.
