Hmm... I suppose I should've noticed this thread before installing a 
customized version of the new logo at the Vietnamese Wiktionary the 
other day. [1] As I told Smurrayinchester, the new logo's author, two of 
wikt:vi:'s main contributors voted for this logo, and another abstained, 
in effect saying "the vote has taken so long that the logo probably 
won't ever change". [2] (We only ever have three active contributors at 
one time, at most, so that's saying something.) So I didn't think the 
change would be controversial at wikt:vi:, and in fact, no one has said 
a word about it. :)

As for one of the issues surrounding the new logo: according to 
Californiacondor, the Japanese Wiktionary is fine with the Katakana 
character being used. [3]

I guess wikt:vi: is now pushing the issue, since, well, it's up there on 
all our pages. I'll make sure to keep our copy of the logo updated, 
though, in case we get agreement on any of the proposed logo tweaks.
