i think this is "by design", right, Jakub? We have the ability to put the logo at the bottom of the user list, if i'm wrong

I don't see any logo even if I configure it manually:
1. Download wallpaper: cd /usr/share/backgrounds/; wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/NewTux.svg/200px-NewTux.svg.png
2. Using your favorite editor create override file in: /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/background
3. Paste: [org/gnome/login-screen]
logo='file:///usr/share/backgrounds/200px-NewTux.svg.png'
4. Run as a superuser: dconf update

Comment 3 Paul W. Frields 2013-12-17 20:16:32 UTC
I believe this can be done through /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ like so:

1. (same as above)
2. Edit file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.login-screen.gschema.override
3. Provide at least these two lines:
     [org.gnome.login-screen]
     logo='/usr/share/backgrounds/200px-NewTux.svg.png'
4. Run as superuser:  glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Custom logo is now displayed under user list.

Now, should be Red Hat logo part of default RHEL7 branding?

Comment 5 Jakub Steiner 2014-01-07 15:51:02 UTC
My recommendation is not putting any logos on the login screen. Branding is *not* about plastering logos all over the place. By doing that, we would be doing the opposite to creating brand awareness. By adding more visual elements to the page we pollute the clarity of the login dialog and harming the user experience.

Created attachment 846764 [details]
RHEL logo

Attaching a RHEL logo I'd rather not see used.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2014-01-08 19:41:55 UTC
alright, given comment 5, i'm going to devnack this.

Comment 10 Ray Strode [halfline] 2014-01-14 17:56:06 UTC
reopening since there was a meeting today where it was decided this would come back.

Comment 11 Ray Strode [halfline] 2014-01-22 03:27:49 UTC
to keep things moving, i've built attachment 846764 [details] now. We may have to do another round if brand team comes back with their own concept.

Comment 12 Vladimir Benes 2014-02-11 13:49:19 UTC
logo is present in gdm now
