So, here's how it works:

We're making a Fedora Remix logo. It will come in several, pretty
colors, but it will be the same logo. This logo will not have a
background color, instead, it will have a transparent background. This
logo (in its many color incarnations) will be approved for use in
accordance with the Fedora Secondary Trademark Guidelines.

So, lets say I decide to make a spin of Fedora that is all about
Dinosaurs. I've customized the background, images, and added Dinosaur
specific programs. I've looked through the Fedora Secondary Trademark
Guidelines and confirmed that I am permitted to use the Fedora Remix
logo without having to get any special permission from Fedora. I then
call my spin "Dinosaur Linux: A Fedora Remix". I make custom images for
Dinosaur Linux, upon which I can paste one of the Fedora Remix logos
from the fedora-remix-logos package. I can't use any of the logos in
fedora-logos package because I'm not an approved Fedora spin, but I
could use the generic-logos replacement if I wanted to.

It is possible that someone's spin may not meet the criteria to use the
Fedora Remix mark, so we can't just put these new logos into
generic-logos.

Does that make sense?
