Then I suggest you join the OpenSUSE and Ubuntu design teams and convince them to adopt blue backgrounds. Perhaps talk to Apple & Microsoft too, and maybe Google for Chrome OS. That's the most direct and logical choice to achieve that. Given our current desktop trends, the only way you get 'coffeeshop' brand identity currently is: - have people know what Fedora is (unlikely) - have people know that Fedora backgrounds are ... blue (probably likely, given the first) - show them something Linux-y with a blue background There is no way that the proposed background breaks this chain.
