Think you might be getting a bit ahead of things - adding a new icon to 
the "start" button would effectively introduce a new logo for Fedora. 
While it can't hurt to experiment with some ideas, we should either come 
up with a non-branded icon for that control (a green 'go' 
button/light/arrow?) or agree that we need a logo.

I like the idea of getting branding out of areas like that (start 
button, throbber, etc.). People don't need to be reminded every day that 
they are using Fedora - they know (and if they don't, then we must be 
doing well).

Here....... try this one. http://linux.bius.net/images/go-f.png

The slogan can be "Go 'F' that other OS!"

Hehehehehe ;-)

Seriously...... I never use the Main Menu on the panel..... but the
users of the other OS are familiar with the concept of "go" and
"start",
etc. Could just as easily contain the "F" in the Fedora font. (If I
could ever find out what the font actually is.... anyone? anyone?
Bueller?)

I use it to start apps on my system that aren't shortcut icons on my 
panel.  It's easy enough to add the icons to the panel (think 
"terminal") if they're going to be in use often enough.

Similar to the Fedora website's favicon?

It's a somewhat tweaked version of Myriad Bold Italic with modified 
kerning and tweaked "F" and "d" characters. 

I've mentioned it elsewhere before, but it's probably in an email or two 
somewhere in the deluge of other mailing list emails (probably in 
fedora-list or fedora-devel-list).

The logos (for both Fedora Core and Fedora Project) are available on my 
people page directory.
