Comment (by dwt):

 Regarding the question of branding vs something just different: I don't
 really care, as I just need it to be different to drastically reduce
 errors.

 For people not having to fear shoulder surfing I would expect that
 something that is Tor themed is better as it is easier to recognize and
 reduces errors where you meant to use Tor (or not) and accidentally the
 wrong browser.

 For people having to fear shoulder surfing of course a visible Tor-Logo
 could be potentially very bad, though I guess that they also suffer much
 stronger from the first problem I.E. having to keep their secret and
 public identities strongly apart.

 I see it this way: I provide a patch that makes it easy to theme Tor
 Browser by changing two images and two colors around and get that
 technically ready to be included in the the build process. If that is
 ready, then I'd like the maintainers to step in and decide how they want
 to proceed branding wise and what their experiences are with people who
 actually have this problem (as I sadly/ luckily don't) so we do not have
 to rely on speculation for this point.
