Come on. The v2 *is* smaller.
Open http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/Wiki.png and
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png
on two different tabs and switch between them.
You will notice the change from italic to normal, that the W was bigger
(bolder?) on the previous logo (we may want to increase it on v2) and
that the ball was bigger.
And by bigger I mean that on the previous logo the borders of the circle
reached the left border of the W and the right of the A.
The v2 goes from the middle of the W to 25% of the A.

This is not a visual effect. Put your cursor on the right border of the
globe and change tabs. Whoops, now there is almost a full piece to the
border.
