I think changes should always be considered and I'd love to see
what changes and ideas might come from ideas in this group.
Máirín's points about the off-centeredness and multi-color
requirements were noticeable from a new-comer's perspective
immediately -- they're frustratingly limiting and weird.
That said, they are also recognizably Fedora. Strong
design aesthetic and cohesion were what attracted me to Fedora as
my operating system of choice initially, and inspired me to
contribute (in what little ways I have).
I'd be sad to see that familiar thing go, but I'm very excited to
hear (and see!) what ideas people might bring forward.

What do you think fellow, design team members?
Full disclosure, I brought this up to Matthew yesterday when
we were discussing the ticket on converting the logo guidelines
to asciidoc. We realized they have to be updated with some of
the new stuff we've been working on (Fedora IoT logo, Fedora
CoreOS logo, etc). And I complained about how I wish I could
update the logo too :-)
I think a lot of us have struggled with the inability to do
one color and the off-centeredness of the bubble. (And wouldn't
an open source font be nice??)

This logic makes sense to me. I'm also open-minded to a 2018
refresh.
There should probably be some level of engagement with the Fedora
Design
Team on this too.
It is too bad tattoos aren't as easy to update as Fedora. :)
