Making Fedora recognisable doesn't (necessarily) mean having a distinct visual identity, a different one from GNOME.
Then make a compromise and have a Fedora desktop spin dedicated to "pure GNOME". Fedora Workstation would benefit from taking an approach that aligns it with the Windows 10 and macOS desktop experience. It would still be a GNOME based desktop just the "Workstation Shell" would follow a different metaphor. This wouldn't be any different from what Elementary, Solus and Endless Mobile have done for their own respective use-cases.
I am not convinced the Fedora project has a sufficient contributor base to make essentially two Gnome-based spins at the quality either would like to have. It would be diluting the limited resources we already have around testing and integration.
Agreed. This branch of discussion is going afield of the specific question of Fedora brand recognition IMHO.
