[Design-team] Gnome-shell extension that adds a Fedora logo

[Fabian A. Scherschel]

That sounds like something we should consider to ship by default. I've also
been thinking about the fact that the only place someone sees a Fedora logo
on F15 is a few split-seconds when Plymouth is booted and that that isn't
good at all for our branding.

I like your approach!

> I've been a user of Fedora 15 for two weeks now and I'm impressed. However

> http://sources.venemo.net/
> In order to use it, you will need to:
> 1. Get the RPM:
> - Install the fedora-logo-gnome-shell-extension-1.0.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm
> package
> OR if you don't want to install a random rpm from a random guy on the
> internet, the source tarball is also there:
> - Get the tarball, and extract the contents to
> ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/fedoralogo at fedoraproject.org/
> 2. Reload the shell: press Alt+F2, type r and press enter
>
> I would appreciate any feedback about this idea. Eg. does the icon fit well
> in there, is this the right icon to use, etc.

> Thanks in advance! :)
