Latin Wikipedia (la.wikipedia.org) still uses old logo v1. There is already exist logo v2, they shall change it. It remain since old version, recently this wiki was updated to Vector skinn and now shall use logo from Commons, but they not. The same problem with Old Belarusian Wikipedia (be-x-old.wikipedia.org)
Please ask a sysop of Latin Wikipedia to upload the new version of the logo to [[Image:Wiki.png]]. The logo change has to be done there.
Actually, for the v2 logo rollout, we've just been linking to the Commons file. (See InitialiseSettings to confirm that.) Sometime in the future, they'll be uploaded to the local wikis, but until then, we've been linking to the Commons version.

It seems kinda pointless to change it then change it back at a later date, It takes a lot less time to upload the newer version on the local site.
The issue is that the Vector changeover was supposed to point project logos to the updated logos on commons, in order that we have a central unified control over logos. I'm not certain about the exact reasoning, but given that there were a large number of logos that had not yet been created in the 2.0 format. This doesn't simply affect the Latin Wikipedia project but numerous others, and a coordinated effort must be made to either upload the remaining logos locally (which is where they'll eventually reside) or re-point the sitelogo to the commons pages. I imagine it will be easier to do local uploads, which will require the assistance of at least one steward and/or staff member.
The main problem is that local community not see need to replace a logo. They like v1. But all wikipedias logos shall look the same.

The logo in use comes from [[la:Image:Wiki.png]], according to the URL of the logo that's being shown on the Latin wiki.

Sorry for the confusion, what I meant is that you can confirm that we've *been* linking to the Commons version for the wikis with v2 logos. For example, this is enwiki's $wgLogo entry: 'enwiki' => 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png', // Change this back to $stdlogo when the great logo switch is done The bug isn't invalid, it should just be marked as "LATER". We should make one big bug with all of the v2 logos that we need to roll-out instead of doing small ones like this.
