@stjn Apologies, I take the responsibility.

I fixed the SVG, please have a look so we can upload it.

This version is fine, just to be sure − is white space on the right side necessary? Either way a lot better than now.

The whitespace is just the canvas size we have for wikipedia wordmarks in all languages. it's easy to produce the wordmarks with a template canvas. it won't matter in the implementation of the wordmark.

Thank you for flagging this issue. We will get this done shortly.

New logo should be live now. @stjn can you confirm you see the new version of the logo?

Yes, but the new version is considerably smaller than, for example, its English counterpart: https://i.imgur.com/vIbPxmJ.png

@stjn we use fixed viewport to show site branding inside the header. the issue here is the descender of "д"

we have max height for site brand viewbox to be 18px. the descender in russian wordmark reduces the x-height of entire wordmark in case of Russian project logo. I would suggest adding local commons.css rule to increase this only for russian project. I can help writing that css. it would be 2 lines of change. an admin can add that. We did the same thing with Catalan logo because it optically looked misaligned. fixed it with local css. it's difficult to write one fits all design for 300 languages so we find the common denominator and then design per case basis. It's great to see people from their projects care about typography and this level of detail so I would be totally up for helping you fix this issue.

here's a visual way to see what i meant by the x-height issue.

OK, then I suggest you use it properly. Catalan logo still looks like shrinked version, and I don’t want this for Russian either, since the descender of ‘д’ isn’t part of the x-height, just like descender of ‘p’ isn’t part of it. Compare it with logo from [2] with 116px width and 0.25em margin-top: https://i.imgur.com/qNMqXQ8.png − x-height is a little bit smaller, but at least the whole logo isn’t.

@stjn BRB Trying to find a way to increase the size on per project basis

Bigger Russian wikipedia logo. 21px height so as to not increase the size of the header

Seems to look a lot better and clearer, thanks.

New logo is live. Ping @Nirzar @stjn - can be resolve this task now?

It looks worse than I expected it to (because it is still ≈80% of needed width or height in comparison) but I don’t want to take your time anymore with such low-priority task.
