Most people wouldn't create another secondary mark for that.  They'd
come up with a name for the project and simply slap "Beta" at the end
of it.  It's a pretty typical convention at this point, and people are
likely to be less confused than having 3 "official" Fedora marks that
all mean different things.  Particularly if the two "secondary" marks
have any overlap.
