Wordmarks created using Open Sans Semi Bold to match the EN WikiNews logo and added to the folder. This did result in some font and color changes for a subset of word marks.

@cmadeo these look great. tawikinews is the only one which doesn't seem consistent with the existing logo. Was the text "விக்கிசெய்தி" used or some other variant?
Once a new version has been uploaded (or this has been confirmed as a wanted change) please assign to me and I can take over from here.

Thanks @Jdlrobson! I uploaded a new variant for th, but didn't do the update for ta in my last pass. I've now updated ta in the folder now, though.

@cmadeo the second character in Thai looks off to me?: วิกิข่าว

Noting that sdwikinews is different from original (but given this is a closed wiki not going to worry about this one too much)

Hi Jon, I grabbed that string from the userpage of logos but can update
with the string provided here. Thanks for double checking.

It looks like the difference might be explained by the use of a serif vs sans serif typeface. I've uploaded a serif version to the folder

@mehtab.ahmed I notice you've been involved in the sdwiki project in the past could you confirm that these Wikinews logos look equivalent ?

Screenshot 2023-09-26 at 1.28.57 PM.png (144×371 px, 34 KB)

Thanks for confirming so quickly @mehtab.ahmed ! Much appreciated!

@Jdlrobson, @JScherer-WMF - the th.wikinews.org is incorrect - the second "i" is missing - should be "วิกิ" for the first two letters

@Jdlrobson, @JScherer-WMF - the th.wikinews.org is incorrect - the second "i" is missing - should be "วิกิ" for the first two letters

But this is fixed now... right? T348757
