CentOS project.

@subsection Usage
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
The CentOS corporate identity is attached to @samp{DejaVu LGC}
9c6e0d
font-family.  Whatever artwork you design for CentOS project, that
9c6e0d
requires typography usage, must be done using @samp{DejaVu LGC}
9c6e0d
font-family.

@table @strong
9c6e0d
@item Recommendation-1: 
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
For screen desings (e.g., anything that final destination will never
9c6e0d
be printed on paper or any medium outside computer screens) use
9c6e0d
@samp{DejaVu LGC Sans} font-family. 
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
@item Recommendation-2: 
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
For non-screen designs (e.g., anything that final desition will be
9c6e0d
printed on paper or any other medium outside computer screens) use
9c6e0d
@samp{DejaVu LGC Serif} font-family. As convenction files described in
9c6e0d
this rule are stored under @samp{Stationery} directories.  
9c6e0d
@end table
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
The only execption for the two recommendations above is the typography
9c6e0d
used inside CentOS logo. The CentOS logo is the main visual
9c6e0d
representation of the CentOS project so the typography used in it must
9c6e0d
be the same always, no matter where it be shown. It also has to be
9c6e0d
clear enough to dismiss any confussion between similar typefaces
9c6e0d
(e.g., the number one (1) sometimes is confuesed with the letter
9c6e0d
@samp{el} (l) or letter @samp{ai} (i)). 
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
As CentOS logo typography convenction, the word @samp{CentOS} uses
9c6e0d
@samp{Denmark} typography as base, both for the word @samp{CentOS} and
9c6e0d
the phrase @samp{Community Enterprise Operating System}. The phrase
9c6e0d
size of CentOS logo is half the size in poits the word @samp{CentOS}
9c6e0d
has and it below @samp{CentOS} word and aligned with it on the left.
9c6e0d
The distance between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
9c6e0d
Enterprise Operating System} have the size in points the phrase has.
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
When the CentOS release brand is built, use @samp{Denmark} typography
9c6e0d
for the release number. The release number size is two times larger
9c6e0d
(in height) than default @samp{CentOS} word. The separation between
9c6e0d
release number and @samp{CentOS} word is twice the size in points of
9c6e0d
separation between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
9c6e0d
Enterprise Operating System}.
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
Another component inside CentOS logo is the trademark symbol (TM).
9c6e0d
This symbol specifies that the CentOS logo must be consider a product
9c6e0d
brand, even it is not a registered one. The trademark symbol uses
9c6e0d
DejaVu LGC Sans Regular typography. The trademark symbol is aligned
9c6e0d
right-top on the outter side of @samp{CentOS} word. The trademark
9c6e0d
symbol must not exceed haf the distance, in points, between
9c6e0d
@samp{CentOS} word and the release number on its right.
9c6e0d
9c6e0d
It would be very convenient for the CentOS Project and its community
9c6e0d
to to make a registered trademark (®) of CentOS logo. To make a
9c6e0d
register trademark of CentOS Logo prevents legal complications in the
9c6e0d
market place of brands. It grants the consistency, through time, of
9c6e0d
CentOS project corporate visual identity.
