BYOND has to pull off a tricky business. It should attract players and developers alike and not only that, but a broad player base at that.
I doubt that you could ever manage to find one layout to fit all of them, since the preferences and recommendations on the platform are much too different.

How so?
If I see a BYOND logo, listed on an external page, I know that it refers to BYOND. I don't need any colour or style to realize that. Just like I would with Google, Apple, or whoever else.
If what you say is true, then every guild and even every single hub with a custom CSS would mean it is no longer associated with BYOND and they all should share the same layout.

You say that a forum does not establish it's branding through style and layout and yet we are discussing on a forum. The fact that it is not powered by PHP, but by C++/Perl in the back-end should hardly kill the point?

It is the apple logo that makes you think on apple, not the shape, form, or colour of product, else, how could they have an iPod, a MacBook and iMac, which differ significantly in shape and offer different colours?
