          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.
        
        Not necessarily, in a number of cases. One is in institutional
        use, where
        the system may log into a shared account automatically. Another
        is in
        conferences or other places where Fedora may be seen in use. If
        someone is
        giving a demo at a meetup using Fedora Workstation, that doesn't
        need to be
        all obnoxious, but it'd be nice if it were easy to notice.
    
    
    +1. The conference scenario is a common one. I use an add-on
      [1] just to add Fedora logo by the Activities menu because I want
      to show people that I'm using Fedora, and there is no other way of
      doing that during a presentation/workshop.
    

    Also I don't think the "Upstream doesn't put a logo" is a good
      argument. We are not just distributing upstream. We are building a
      product (Workstation in this case) and we can decide on our own
      what's best.
