Hey everyone;
I need some advice on how to use the Fedora logo. According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines it's okay to use change the typeface of the Fedora text to white if the color backing it is Fedora blue (under "Never Use the Logo on Similarly-Colored Backgrounds"); Now, if I wanted put the logo on top of the Constantine wallpaper, the contrast is very bad, and nearly illegible, since it's very close to Pantone 2935 in many places.
Would it be a grey area to make the Fedora typeface white in this case? See [1] for a screenshot of what we are talking about.. What would be the best way to do this?
CCing design-team's list -- good idea to ask logo-related questions there.
It's definitely recommended to make the Fedora typeface white in this case -- if you can't read "Fedora" without squinting, change it.
The code currently loads the png from /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-small.png and generates the "Welcome to" text from MgOpen Modata Bold in the same Panotone 2935 of the logo typeface. If the logo typeface was made white, it would constitute keeping a separate image in the Fedora-tour data directory or adding another image to the fedora-logos package, I'd assume? The former is not a Good Thing, and the latter would probably take some intervention with Fedora-legal? I'm not sure of the details, tbh. What are everyone's thoughts? Any workarounds come to mind?
Filing a bug against fedora-logos and attaching the proposed PNG with a rationale would probably do the trick.

+1, this is that the Usage Guidelines practically says.

I bet you wanted to say here "the same hex value"
