If we can't raise brand awareness for our primary trademark, how much harm can there be from a second freely-customizable image? But thanks for the direct response. I really didn't want to open a big debate and revisit stuff that was decided and decided not that long ago. Maybe around F25 if we still exist and people still want a free logo it would be more appropriate to revisit this? :) John _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
