However, over the past few months, <a href="https://blog.linuxgrrl.com/">Máirín Duffy </a>and the <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design">Fedora Design team</a>, along with the wider Fedora community have been working on redesigning the Fedora logo.</p>

<p>Far from being just an arbitrary logo change, this process is being undertaken to solve a number of issues encountered with the current logo. Some of the issues with the current logo include the lack of a single colour variant, and, consequently the logo not working well on dark backgrounds. Other challenges with the current logo is confusion with other well-known brands, and the use of a proprietary font.</p>
