Paul, I am not sure I understood correct: Are you looking for the Fedora logo in particular or any mentioning of the Fedora Product? I subscribe to the German's magazine "c't" and have all issues from 1997 on CD/DVD (a service of the editor of c't). Unfortunatly this service lets me get rid of any hardcopy once I receive the CD/DVD. I did a quick view on one of them and found references to Fedora distributions, but no logo so far. If I find one, I am sure you will be able to approach the editor of c't (www.heise.de) to get some dated evidence from them. Kind regards /jr Am 8/31/2010 5:23 PM, schrieb Paul W.
