Problem
Various projects are showing non-localised logo including several wikivoyage projects and Wikitionary.
We should ensure that all projects had a translated project name,
For example zh.wikivoyage should no longer has an English logo:

Why new logos?
Logos on the mobile site require careful consideration as they are different dimensions from logos used on the desktop site. Each individual logo must be fitted to the chrome header and care must be taken to align the typography with the menu and search icons.
Designing a new logo is not a simple case of resizing - there's things like font kerning to consider here and every logo we've enabled so far has gone through a few round of iterations which have always been helped by helpful volunteers verifying our changes as our design team does not speak every single language we support.
Solution
Wiktionary:
- Stop using a logo. Use text for all projects
Wikivoyage:
- Use text instead of logo for zh, fa, es
Future work
We'll add logos to any projects who request them but we'll do that on a case by case basis.
The branding project goal was to make people become familiar with the project names and logo they were on for each individual project so we're not going to use a global logo without words when we can use localised text.
