[Fedora-spins] Expanding the branding and marketing of spins?

We don't do a great job of marketing spins at the moment - a naive user
has to click "Download" and then do something other than click the large
obvious "Download now!" button. Clicking "Desktops" gives a list of
desktops with no real information about what they are - users have to
click through to the spins site. Non-desktop spins are hidden under a
tab marked "spins", which is Fedora-specific terminology. Even once you
get to spins.fedoraproject.org, every spin is forced into a format that
gives little opportunity to differentiate. There's no integration with
upstream branding.
The board is considering whether the current situation meets the needs
of the spins. Do people feel that they would benefit from the
opportunity to have a stronger individual identity for their spin, with
its own website and branding (still obviously tied to Fedora, but
potentially also tied to upstream)? Or is the feeling that the current
situation is acceptable?
