There was mentioned in thread in ambassadors list that it should be
actually called "Russian Fedora Remix". And it is officially called
that. Russian Fedora is just a slang. Sorry for bringing in incorrect
information.

But they still use slightly modified fedora-logos package. Could you
clarify logo guidelines about that package. Is it possible to use it
unmodified in remix? Or all fedora logos should be replaced with fedora
remix logos?

Using generic-logos package would not be solution here, as, I’m sure,
they will want to leave as much fedora branding as possible, without
striping all logos.
