possible solution, and question

Parent article: GNOME, Fedora, and login-screen logos

1. How about put the Fedora logo across the whole screen, but kind of faded, and have the user list over it with a transparent background? (I would tend to agree that prominent Fedora branding is desirable.)

2. Why does Gnome get to have any say at all? It's free software. Fedora can do what the heck they want with it! (Not that I advocate trying to keep Gnome from having the credit they deserve.)

+1. It'd be nice to get this for TTYs as well.

Fedora tries to be as close to upstream as possible. If upstream doesn't provide hooks such that Fedora can make a non-tiny logo addition, the maintainers would have to try to get upstream to allow that to happen.
