None of them have been reviewed yet, because no designer wants to touch
the subject. The content of this thread is why.

GNOME owns the experience though. Once you boot into Fedora Workstation,
GNOME controls most of the hardware and software pieces on your machine,
whether directly or indirectly.

This is mentioned in GNOME 3's design documents as well:
"Take responsibility for the user's experience"
https://www.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/design/GNOME_Shell-20091114.pdf

But the discussion isn't about whether to replace GNOME branding by Fedora
branding, but how to use different kinds of branding to reach the goals we
set out (which we didn't explicitly yet, and that might be part of the
problem).
