Sources (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:4f-flag-source.svg) are now
posted on the wiki
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService#4foundations_Flags_for_events)
> - The gradients and drop shadows don't really match a lot of our artwork so I would recommend pulling them out. It also looks like the colors of the four icons have been modified. I would stick with the original colors in the file you got them from - I think either Ian Weller or Clint Savage put together a list of color standards for these so you might want to check with them to make sure you're using the right color ocdes.
OK, there are a variation with original colors on source file ;)
> - You're using MG Open Modata, which is perfect, but you're using the bold variant. We typically only use the regular version of this font (the bold version is kind of goofy-looking.) Can you try with the regular version?
OK
> - The black of the lion seems a little less than ideal compared bright / tropical almost coloring of the four foundations artwork. Can you try a variant with a white lion? It might make the flag brighter and go together a bit better.
OK, a white lion will look great!

:) They are a lot of possibilities about this, I designed a variation,
but isn't finished yet (it's included on source)

Please, make corrections on source to show your ideas
