Yes, you absolutely can have your own branding.
See the guidelines here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines and in
particular the usage guidelines for the logo at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines.
In general, the best approach is to work with the Design Team
https://pagure.io/design to make sure the proposed logo works. This
isn't meant to introduce bureaucracy but to make sure Fedora is
represented well — not any comment on your proposed design, but we
*have* in the past had examples which didn't get the colors right or
been off-message in some way.

That's also in the policy document linked above, at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Domain_names,
and also
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_community_domains
In general, a custom domain discouraged, as it can lead to all sorts of
problems. How about fedoralive.fedoracommunity.org?
Is this the first time we've ever used *.fedoracommunity.org? I've
never seen it used before...
Also, if we're going to use that, probably
live.fedoracommunity.org
makes more sense.
And we've previously done custom domains for stuff, for example:
.net:
fedoraloves.net
Python:
fedoralovespython.org
Get Fedora:
getfedora.org (this one was actually a pretty painful change...)
Custom domains are not specifically disallowed either, but a trademark
license from Red Hat is required. Alternatively, Red Hat/Fedora could
purchase the domain for the use.
If it is possible, we should get fedorastreams.live and/or fedoralive.stream
