No special interest in damping down everyone's enthusiasm, but in my
opinion these "element style logos" don't just look amateurish, the
whole design is questionable.

What would be needed is either a single unique possibly abstract
logo/symbol for the Fedora Project (or well, the Fedora Foundation in
the future), something memorable, recognisable, like "Shadowman" for
Red Hat, "N" for Novell, the abstract "@" for Debian,  the chamaeleon
for SuSE. Or simply a standard font/design for the letters and
colouring of a textual logo. A clear design which is used on all
project pages and all official partner's sites.

To come up with individual logos for every sub-project and every
distribution release version is a bad idea. In particular, the "C"
from Fedora Core must always be a capital letter. No mixing of big "F"
and small "c", please.
