I'm not a designer. But in any case, the obvious things that I've
suggested — and that Endless has done — are already on the list. Again,
if someone has something better, let's do that. But let's _start
there_.
It's not. It just makes things worse. It's like we never had
those
discussions in the past. Keep asking the same thing, and that one time
when we're not looking, you'll slip this change past us.
I haven't slipped any change past anyone. I don't want to. What I want
is for the people working on this to do things to help Fedora succeed.
I don't want to have to keep arguing that we're not Ralph Lauren or
whatever fashion brand people are covering up on their coats. That's
not useful. Fedora has a strong, positive brand, and we have a great
logo and visual language strongly tied to our community identity. Let's
take that and put it into action.
I'm pretty sure that the omni-presence of a logo isn't
something that got
explicitly requested by designers at Endless. Or the Ubuntu designers
requesting the UI to be mostly orange.
Perhaps not. Yet, it's there. That's because this is important.
