Upper left.

In both cases, the logos are actual buttons, not simply fillers (like the Red Hat
logo is in RHEL's gnome-shell). If we had a "GNOME menu" in the default UI, we would
be comparing things properly.

We already ship a downstream patch to the control-center's "Details" panel to show
information about the Fedora variant in use.

I don't think we should have a logo in the default shell chrome, as it would dilute
the goal of minimal chrome, and take attention away from the already present UI items.
