Because it could cause confusion among users and vendors, weaken the
fedora brand as such
and does not seem to solve any real issue anyway.
Its better to ask the one that proposes a change to justify it
instead of the one that says that it should not be changed.
Maybe we are thinking of different ends of what "separate logo" means.
I was thinking more along the lines of:
http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2014/05/22/fedora-next-brand-concept-1/
which isn't a _replacement_ for the Fedora logo, but seems complimentary to it.

What content would the workstation specific website have that is worth
the effort
of having a separate website? A page that explains what workstation is
after selecting or clicking on
the workstation might make sense tough.
"Website" in the full definition of a separately hosted entity
entirely is a lot of overhead, yeah. However, a unique URL might be
useful as a landing page for people looking for a specific product.
Again, I think there's a broad range of options here and dismissing it
without exploring them seems premature.
