OLPC has offered to include a Sugar logo in the splash screen, much the way the Fedora Remix graphic is included. Problem is, we need someone to do the work of embedding it. According to Ed, We had substantial difficulties with the Fedora logo due to the noticeable delay it added to boot time, so

This would initially be for the OLPC XO-1.5 machines. As to how/when there will be a new build for the OLPC-XO-1.0 machines, it is a subject of heated debate. The issue seems to be finding the resources to make the necessary patches to support the graphics systems on the XO-1.0 in Fedora 11. (This

To be clear, I have no issue with the Fedora remix logo where it is. My concern is confusion - the sugar logo in the center will represent well Sugar the interface and learning platform. In a corner, the sugar logo by itself would be ambiguous; it would be preferable to have the Sugar Labs logo
