Máirín, this was a great summary and I appreciate your taking the time to write it. I also wanted to point out that from my perspective, Fedora has worked long and hard to establish our brand and the values that underlie it. The logo also has a quite interesting history behind it, and a lot of thought went into its design.[1] Fragmenting the Fedora brand by using something other than the simple, powerful logo we've come to know and love would be quite a step backward! * * * [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/History -- Paul W.
