I would say though that focusing on having a logo is limiting our approach in my opinion. You quickly recognize a Ubuntu screenshot due to their orange theme for instance, or a mac screenshot due to those 3 red, yellow, green buttons on their window decorations. So even without looking at the logos you quickly identify those systems when you see them.

So, this "branding" is for what purpose?
If it is for strengthen the marketing, I think (at least at this point in time) that the better would be focusing in making Fedora "that 'linux' where everything works and I can do my stuff", and, after, "that really cool computer system where I can do really cool stuff".
If it is for a instantly recognizable visual identity, then you inevitably stay hostage of the thing that draws things on the screen (GNOME Shell, for Fedora Workstation). The only way around is to put a logo in the face of the user (GNOME Shell's top bar, because the Wallpaper can easily - and will - be changed).
So, my suggestion to this topic would be:
1- Keep (really) focusing (harder) on making Fedora "doesn't suck". 2- Put a (symbolic, 1 color) Fedora logo somewhere in the GNOME Shell's top bar (like macOS, like Windows 10's bottom bar, like Ubuntu's left bar, [...]). 3- Remove logo from default wallpaper.
