Why not set the logo to the second one, and at the same time start one of our famous bikeshedding fests? (Anyone answering to that question, please change the subject to "Wiki logo".)

Fair enough. As long as Chromium has a fairly small share of the market, I think it is safe to tell everybody to wait a little until the side bar is no longer displayed at the left _below_ the main body text. AFAICT the problem was solved with Wikipedia, so the next release should magically fix the issue.
