This should the lesser of our concerns.
This is a SVG. The file should contain the text in editable form (in
Wikipedia-logo-v2-blueprint.svg it is stored as paths).
Creating pngs becomes automatic. Moreover, I don't see the point of
uploading hundreds of pngs. The backend should be able to handle it just
fine. Localization would be placing the localized "The Free
Encyclopedia" text in the appropiate place.
Now we should focus on making it look good, getting all the feedback
that is coming from them, so that we can eg. make it larger.
For instance, I would make darker the border of the upper right piece.
Compared with the old one, it looks "too flat".
