The architecture seems similar to me, even though I have been there
several times. I need to check the photo and compare to tell the exact
differences. I think this situation might cause confusions. Besides
Tiananmen is still of political meanings today (The national emblem is
there, and many activities are on national day.), which I want to avoid
in the logo. In additional, the word Forbidden does not rhyme with
Fedora.

On the other hand, I think Temple of Heaven is quite suitable for logo
design. It can stand out as a symbol of Beijing, China. It no longer has
political meaning. And it was in fact in the logo of ICANN 46 [1].
