Check out the link. I added a modification following your suggestion.
Quite funny you mentionned eyedropper as it didn't come in mind. =)

Meeting minutes - 16/09/2005
by Colin Charles
Present:
Patrick Barnes (nman64)
Rahul Sundaram (mether)
Karsten Wade (quaid)
Jon Fautley ([sasquatch])
Colin Charles (byte)
Greg DeKoenigsberg (gregdek)
Marc (StrikeForce)
Tejas Dinkar (tejas)
Bob Jensen
Notes:
* Mentors - There's a mailing list, art project with Diana is there,
but the rest aren't responding. Rahul has responded. Note that there is
NO duplication of information by creating new guides - its just revising
existing materials. Marc to resend out more information bits about the
list to developers, and there have been a small number of newbies that
have signed up. Wiki page needs updating, people need to get on lists.
* FUDCon Promotion - numbers (registrants) 50 at the moment (pending
Alex), there has been publicity, sent to the list. Look at list archives
for this - lwn, lxer, linuxtoday, newsforge. 2 staff volunteers also
* SOP - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/SpreadingNews has been
integrated. It needs to be built on further, with possibly other
inspiration as well. Rahul is done with it (thanks for the great job),
others now need to contribute
* CMC - list is setup, its private, there are people on it. Keep in
mind focusing on our strengths and promoting that. This week is week of
promotion
* Logo - First round at: http://www.capstrat.com/development/fedora/.
Infinite freedom isn't decided as the slogan, but the general consensus
is that the logo is loved. Concentrate on logo feedback today. Color can
be fixed later (like Legacy or something)
Is the 'f' too subtle? Do we need a name?
* Fedora-derivatives: Rahul will post to list over the weekend, and
Tejas has found a bunch of "dead" distros. Rahul is going to download
everything he can get his hands on. c.f. Blag on LiveCd list for
starters
* Fedora Marketing Kit - saved for next week. Rahul did:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraOverview, with the idea to expand it
to a list. It clearly needs more content, to link of to other pages.
Patrick has been trying a new redesign, at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PatrickBarnes/Prototypes/FrontPage and the
idea is to move the wiki to the frontpage eventually. Patrick will work
with the designers for this (incl. Bob Jensen)
* Legacy pages have been cleaned up at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy by Rahul, after talking to Jesse
and folk on #fedora-devel. Rahul probably volunteering to own the
content, infrastructure to fedoralegacy
* Do we want a wiki as the main/front page?

Fedora FAQ merger effort
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
It has been pointed out in the fedora-marketing list about your effort
on merging all the Fedora related FAQ's into the wiki. While this is
good intent, there are thorny legal issues with linking directly to
repositories that provide legally questionable content within US laws.
Since Fedora Project only Free and open source software not restricted
by patents globally, this doesnt fit with the project's idealogical
goals either. I have removed the inappropriate FAQs from the wiki.
There is a already a central FAQ in the wiki available from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ
If you require any clarifications kindly revert back. I would appreciate
more coordination with the docs or marketing project in Fedora before
getting started with new efforts such as this so that we can ensure that
the ideas are peer reviewed and your efforts are useful to everyone
involved.
Thanks
regards
Rahul

Perhaps giving a liquid look similar to water to the "f" will help. I also think about
italic handwriting "f" style inside the infinity symbol.

Yes, faded while gives a sense of depth. I actually use Inkscape to
reproduce the logo so it will be logical to make log as svg. I converted
it to opaque png as majority of users still use Internet Explorer (lack
of transparency for png).

Revamped Fedora Project website
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
I have worked along with Patrick Barnes who has done a great job in a
revamping the wiki frontpage and related content over the past few days
keeping in mind the earlier discussions we had in the list about the
focus of the websites and lots of love :-) . It has also suggested that
wiki page be made the root document with restricted ACL's it to Seth
Vidal after running it through the designers and also that
http://fedoraproject.org be the new primary website for Fedora users as
well as developers.Several enhancements have been planned such as hiding
the navigation sidebar or replacing it with other links for users who
arent logged into the wiki. Moinmoin which is the current wiki
implementation is expected to get the ability to use raw html content in
version 2.0 which would be helpful is spicing up the page even better.
RSS feed support in Moinmoin for pulling in content from the wiki at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/News would also be useful to add to the
infofeed. The screenshot might be replaced with something thats
appealing to non technical users. Await more information on that later.
Presenting http://fedoraproject.org/wiki for your feedback. Have fun!
regards
Rahul
