My guess has been that this is what Mac's display if they don't have a clue.

Fedora has support for showing their own logo (in the same way as what
I propose) as well as a proper label [0]. I don't know if they
actually use that on their live media or not though. I could check.
Anyway, the fix is a mac specific one.
