I agree 100% with you Anthere! We had a Wikipedia-wide vote for a 
Wikipedia-wide logo and we should stick with that (making improvements, of 
course). We need one logo for Wikipedia for instant recognition - no matter 
what language. 

However, the idea of ratification does seem interesting, but in a different 
way; if a certain percentage of Wikipedias do not ratify the logo, then it is 
not adopted Wikipedia-wide and we are stuck with our old logos again and 
probably a new logo contest (simple up or down votes on the concept with no 
amendments or changes). 

But a no vote would not mean that that Wikipedia version would be free to have 
whatever logo it wants. However, I'm sure a super majority (75% of all 
Wikipedia versions) will give the concept an up vote. That would mean that 
the logo will be adopted Wikipedia-wide as soon as it is improved enough to 
garner a majority yes vote.
