Making Fedora recognisable doesn't (necessarily) mean having a distinct
visual identity, a different one from GNOME.
Most of GNOME's visual identity also has design foundations, they're not
gratuitous. Changing the visual identity (as opposed to making something
based on GNOME recognisable) means throwing away part of the user testing
and holistic approach to the desktop's design (from boot, all the way to the
apps).
