Colors and Slogan

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

More along this line of discussion:

We did take the decision to nix the color schemes.  I'm now, in 
retrospect, not sure how well this was communicated -- evidently not well 
enough -- so forgive me for that.

In related news: we have commissioned a free font for use with Fedora.  I 
don't want to go into too many details on this yet -- I want to make sure 
that we've got good stuff before I shoot my mouth off too much -- but I 
see this font being used extensively in conjunction with the logo 
treatment.
