How can I get a version of the Logo for my wikipedia?

1. First translate the text "Wikipedia / The Free Encylopedia" at the Wikipedia in other languages page
2. Next grab a copy of the current logo and modify the text using your favourite image-editing software OR ask en:User:Nohat to make it for you (on his talk page on en:), and if you're lucky he'll make it within a couple days using the same font as the English logo. (Hoefler Text italic 13px)
3. Post the resulting image on Requests for logos
