[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Sugar in the splash screen

[Sean DALY]

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 representing the Sugar community there.
