Fedora Logo: Modifications and a new one

Problem is the symbol does not really attract anyone. We have
seen the reactions on fedoraforum.org. I even show it to 
my family and friend, overall they didn't like it.

We are on November yet there is no other draft available before
Fedora Core 5 Test 2. Making a set of three or five logo drafts would be
a better way to receive a feedback then choose to enhance that draft.
