I'm all for investigating possibilities, especially ones which have no performance impact and reach. We should do everything we can, and we certainly *do* provides stickers and other Fedora swag. We need to work on the contrbutions of the desktop visual appearance to our brand identity as well.
I think that being the best GNOME Workstation distributor would go a long way towards making Fedora the de facto choice for GNOME use, and that would likely be more effective than slapping non-upstream logos in places.
What I think Matthew and I are trying to say is that this is a very limited and GNOME-centric perspective. Fedora is more than just GNOME. It has to be, otherwise what is the point? You can run GNOME on dozens of other distributions.
You can run it with as good an integration as Fedora on... well, Fedora and spins/remixes.
That's a valid point. Ubuntu is Unity, and Debian's popcon indicates only 30% installations have gnome-shell. But Fedora has gnome-shell in majority of installations, so it's justified to say that Fedora is Gnome, and Gnome is Fedora.
I don't see what the big issue about the background logo is: it is small, unobtrusive, and a lot like a sticker ;) So yeah, let's work on the best possible integration of Gnome and Fedora, and not attach too much weight to details like that: after all it's not something that users complain about.
