Is the login screen not a good place for this? If the user installed the system, surely they know what it is. If the user did not, they must login and could see a logo at the login screen. The Apple logo referred to earlier doesn't seem like a good comparison. This menu is used for a lot of choices that relate to the hardware and system. GNOME doesn't have a comparable menu except for the system details, which has a Fedora logo (also if you type "about" during an Overview search). -- Paul W.
