You cannot distribute the Fedora logo or the Red Hat red hat as part of your 
theme. The logo has to be in the fedora-logos package (for RHEL, that would be 
the redhat-logos package, but good luck getting an icon added there - most 
likely it would only be added if your theme ends up in an RHEL release and so 
the icon is needed, likewise centos-logos will probably only add the icon if 
your theme is actually shipped in CentOS, not EPEL or something) and some 
fallback has to be provided, either inside the theme if it is possible, or in 
generic-logos.

The way it's done in KDE 4 is that:
* kde-settings contains a Fedora-KDE icon theme which inherits from Oxygen and 
which is shipped empty. So by default (*), you get the KDE logo from Oxygen as 
the start button. Fedora-KDE is also set as the default icon theme for KDE by 
kde-settings.
* fedora-logos drops the Fedora logo into that icon theme, so it overrides 
Oxygen's KDE logo.
* In our case, no fallback icon is needed in generic-logos because icon theme 
inheritance takes care of it automatically.

(*) but that default is only invoked in the absence of fedora-logos

One thing you can do for RHEL/CentOS (which should also work in Fedora) is to 
find an icon in redhat-logos which has a fallback with the same file name in 
generic-logos (and fedora-logos and centos-logos), then just symlink to that 
and add a Requires: system-logos. But you can't use your own fallback (e.g. 
IceWM logo) that way, you get whatever is in generic-logos.
