Well, this logo belongs to us as an arabic fedora group.. not fedora
specifically or otherwise we can't change the original logo asln.
But i would prefer to keep the letters in english and not arabic.. it would
be better if we don't divated much from original logo..palms trees :).. keep
the flavor of the original logo but in arabic way. small changes should be
applied not big one.
Anyway, let's judge from the logos itself.. i love doing such things..but am
not in mood :(

Toyota is written in English on the cars, yes, but their vendors in the
Arab
countries, do make advertisements and printed materials in Arabic letters
تÙÙÙتا
The same applies for everything else.
If so, we should not say بارÙس, we should write is as Paris, as the
french
people write it.
