Hi guys, You're making some sense here. I'm not saying that my approach is the perfect one, I rather intended it as a start, because this is an important thing to discuss. The logo is a central piece of Fedora's brand and should not be taken lightly. The logo should be in a place where the user always sees it. Just like in any other desktop environment (and properitary operating systems also have a logo that's always visible). Here is how it looks now: http://i53.tinypic.com/33ndthv.png Here is a comparison showing desktop and overview: http://itmages.com/image/view/168138/2031fc59 If you guys think that it is not good this way, I'm open to suggestions. Here is a few thoughts I have about this. - Maybe we could place the Fedora logo in a fashion that brings it closer to the Activities caption - Maybe we could put the logo to a different place on the top panel and give it some functionality too although I would need a designer's opinion about these. Just a few thoughts on Fab's wallpaper idea: I usually see my wallpaper at two times: - When I log in - When I open a new workspace for less than half a minute each. So having a logo on the background would not make that much of an impression I think. Cheers, Timur On 04/15/2011 12:58 PM, Fabian A.
