Here's one concept for that promo:

I got some suggestions for improvement like making the logo more like a 
banana label and putting the logo on one of those back blankets rather 
than directly on the pony... we can easily switch these out for 
better/funnier/more allegorical/etc objects.

some bylines I thought of for this:

- "what kind of fedora will *you* make?"
- "what's your fedora?"
- "make it yours" / "go ahead, make it yours"
- "build the fedora of your dreams" (with some kind of house + 
blueprints artwork maybe)
- "a perfect fit" / "tailored for you" / "os doesn't quite fit?" (weird 
idea: have three people wearing suse/ubuntu/debian suits/dresses that 
are rumply and baggy and not quite right, and then have a tailor with a 
'revisor' nametag or something tailoring the fourth person's fedora 
outfit which fits much more nicely than the others)
- "remix. share. get mad props." (dj with fedora logo, crowd around him 
cheering him on)
- "it's all about you"
