Exactly. Despite the fact that fr.wikt and a few others eventually 
adopted the logo, the logo debacle was not en.wikt's making. It wasn't a 
refusal to accept the the outcome of the proposal, it was a reluctance 
to be dictated to by people who weren't a part of the community. I'm 
afraid this will be interpreted the same way, if we're proposing to just 
slap a sitenotice on all the Wiktionaries telling them to discuss a new 
logo. There needs to be community impetus for the change, so that the 
meta discussion evolves out of actual community desire for a new logo. 
We should start at places like en.wikt's [[Wiktionary:Beer parlour]], 
fr.wikt's [[Wiktionnaire:Wikidémie]], and es.wikt's 
[[Wikcionario:Café]], not foundation-l.
