In fact, I've been trying to push this upstream because I'm using Debian, which tries to keep upstream looks as much as possible. Besides, I prefer promoting upstream GNOME for more contributors. For example, it would be difficult to convince translators to work with GNOME, rather than launchpad, when few people care about GNOME, or even know what it is. > What you might want to explore is how to make the logo theme-able. > That is, you can select a theme that would alter the logo in all > places in GNOME. > You can then create a package with this cut-down logo-changing theme > that a user can either install on demand, or it is installed > automatically when the user selects, for example, Thai support. To begin with, I've already got a minimal theme, as mentioned ealier in the list [1]. And, yes, figuring out how to make it installed for target users is the next step to think about. Thanks. For Debian in particular, it can be done via tasksel. But I'm also seeking for possibility of upstream solution.

Yes, especially if I can define the exact regions that would benefit from this solution. My current thought is to make it applicable everywhere.
