Luya,
Publican (the toolchain that produces these documents) has a tight structure built around Products (and their logos), Book Titles and Sub Titles. The elements that are seen in the first mockup are essentially the "Front Cover" of the book, and IMO are needed in this circumstance. Changing these elements is also a lot harder than changing the image that rudi requested, as the tool itself (Publican) would need to be changed.
That said, i agree with the word "fedora" being used too much (especially with the non logotype "fedora" that was in my first design)
So, with some help and guidance from Rudi and Mo, i decided to go with a simpler text only header to replace the "made with publican" image.
A test book with the new image can be viewed here: http://ryanlerch.fedorapeople.org/fedora-docs-logo/html/index.html
cheers, ryanlerch

You noticed there are at least four Fedora names on that page alone which is an overkill for header.
Sorry Luya -- I get a 404 for that URL
I made illustration for suggestion below:
And 404 for this one too.
I understand about the ears. As highlighted, there are a lot of repeated words. I made an alternate version that preserve "Fedora" wordmark (original color and black version included) for image replacing "Made with Publican"
This isn't bad; but I find the change in colour between the word "Fedora" and the word "Documentation" quite jarring.
404 for this one
Links fixed.
