By contrast, in Fedora the release name has been used by the Design Team to trigger a visual look - e.g. the Goddard release had a rocket theme for desktop background, while the Beefy Miracle release had an entire experience that included visuals, content (terribly punny jokes about "relishing this release", etc. referring back to the hot dog theme), release collateral[1], and so forth. There is an overall project aesthetic, but each release comes so fast that the per-release themes are not tied to each other.
This is a pretty much a gigantic tangent to CentOS design, but...
I expect that this will change now that we've ditched release names, and because we're working on presenting separate Cloud, Workstation, and Server varients with individual identity. I think we'll probably work more on a consistent Fedora design to tie everything together, while each "product" grows a unique identity underneath that.
