linux4arabs already used such a logo so we need to distinguish ourselves a 
little.

Thanks it's not an easy job I've just discovered. I found that I am always 
doing two steps while designing.
Step #1: Design (on paper and PC)
Step #2: Look at it again and drag to trash ;)

For examples see below...

This is exactly my problem, I realize this is a logo not a banner so may be 
the best thing is just to type the name of the site in color like Fedora 
logo ;) However, this is the last idea which I came with

Step #1: Design
* The text is the website name which help spread the word. I also intentionaly 
added the .org to reflect that I used OOo Draw to design part of this logo.
* The colors used are blue, green, and orange to blend well with Fedora colors 
and the website theme.
* The square blocks reflect our steps towards building a stable system. The 
base is missing one block which will be put when we don't have arabic-related 
bugs with the base tools such as Qt, GTK, ICU, ...
* I could change the size to whichever but the file size is still big so I may 
need to use a vector program (sodipodi?) and export to SVG. I am sorry I 
haven't time nowadays to play ;)


Step #2: Drag to trash
Already done ;)
Why?
 
A little cluttered and not very suitable for small sizes
