I think this is a great idea, with only one problem that might make it
not work well.  The designs of the Four Foundations (not 4-Fs please!)
have an emblem and text in each "leaf."  At the size appearing in the
site headers, those two elements would probably be very difficult to
distinguish properly.

I do think there are other places we could be promoting the Four
Foundations, but the official Fedora logo is still what it always has
been -- and wow, is it getting increasingly meaningful! -- and that's
the strongest way to brand our web sites overall.

Gerold Kassube had -- and Max presented -- a superb idea about how to
use the Four Foundations for a rotating set of information supporting
each theme on a regular basis.  This could be integrated very easily
with a content site like the upcoming Zikula or other rotational
system.
