That's not a good idea - that makes a symbol a meaningful part of
the
icon which is completely meaningless to people using languages that
don't use latin letters or have the word 'Fedora'.
As per the GNOME HIG, keep all letters out of icons in all situations -
leave all letters and words to labels that can be easily translated.
I concur. The GNOME people are correct in this.
