No. You are including content that is not in Fedora, therefor you
cannot use the Fedora trademark and cannot use the trademarked logos.
You would have some renaming work ahead of you.
I don't believe this is strictly true. I can't seem to find the correct
link with the info from legal, but I'm 99.9% certain that if you find a
way to put together an iso which
a) has a complete, identifiable-as-such, copy of 'the fedora software'
(which I'll just take as a blessed fedora iso.)
and
b) custom non-blessed patches
and
c) the user can select on boot/install whether or not to boot the pure
blessed fedora version, or the patched fedora version with obvious
messages that the patches are not blessed,
then this type of composition may in fact use the fedora artwork, etc...
Please don't make an uninformed response to this mail before reading the
legal trademark guidlines which specifically mention this 'supplying
patches with the blessed fedora that the user may clearly choose, or
choose not to use at boot/install time'.
