Where does this design come from?
Refer to:
What font is used in the logotype?
The font in the logotype is Bryant2. This font is not a free font, but it was chosen because it best complements the logo design. The license for use of this font in the official logo is paid, so the logo can be used wherever the trademark and usage guidelines allow without further cost. There is no need to buy this font to produce artwork for Fedora, since the logo itself should never be modified. For more information refer to this message on fedora-art-list:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2006-August/msg00266.html
What about the red or blue hats?
The hats you might have seen elsewhere were not Fedora logos. You might have seen the red hat that was passed down from Fedora's Red Hat Linux lineage. Other hats have been community creations and never had any official connection to Fedora. Use our logo and avoid using hats to represent Fedora since we want Fedora to have its own independent brand.
Where can I find more Fedora artwork?
Additional Fedora artwork is produced by the Fedora Artwork team.
