2.21.2 Description
|

|
|
|

It applies to all major releases of CentOS distribution.

2.21.2.1 One theme for all major releases
|
|
|
aaf678 |
|
|
|
063806 |
Sometimes, specific visual manifestations are formed by common
|
|
|
063806 |
components which have internal differences. That is the case of CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution visual manifestation.
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
Since a visual style point of view, the CentOS distributions share
|
|
|
063806 |
common artwork components like Anaconda --to cover the CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution installation--, BootUp --to cover the CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution start up--, and Backgrounds --to cover the CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution desktop--. Now, since a technical point of view, those
|
|
|
063806 |
common artwork components are made of software improved constantly.
|
|
|
063806 |
So, we need to find a way to keep one unique name and one unique
|
|
|
063806 |
visual style in artwork components that have internal difference and
|
|
|
063806 |
also remark internal difference as well.
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
 Important Remarking the CentOS release schema inside each
|
|
|
063806 |
major release of CentOS distribution --or similar visual
|
|
|
063806 |
manifestation-- takes high attention inside The CentOS Project
|
|
|
063806 |
corporate visual identity. It should be very clear for people which
|
|
|
063806 |
major release of CentOS distribution they are using.
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
In order to remark the CentOS release schema, the CentOS Artwork SIG
|
|
|
063806 |
uses a release-specific brand design named "The CentOS Release
|
|
|
063806 |
Brand". The CentOS release brand is compossed by the CentOS logotype
|
|
|
063806 |
and the CentOS major release number (as specified in CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
release schema definition). In this solution, the CentOS release brand
|
|
|
063806 |
is set inside all release-specific artworks (e.g., distribution,
|
|
|
063806 |
installation media, etc.) in remarkable way. The CentOS release
|
|
|
063806 |
brand is the design component that lets us remark the CentOS release
|
|
|
063806 |
schema inside the monolithic corporate visual identity structure we
|
|
|
063806 |
propose to use.

2.21.2.2 One theme for each major release
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
Other way we've been using to remark CentOS release schema is
|
|
|
063806 |
applying one unique theme for each major release of CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution. That is, if we have 4 major releases of CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution, we need to provide 4 different themes to cover each
|
|
|
063806 |
CentOS distribution available.
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, you can create many themes and that
|
|
|
063806 |
is very convenient. But using one unique theme for each major
|
|
|
063806 |
release of CentOS distribution would bring visual isolation among
|
|
|
063806 |
distributions, websites and promotion visual manifestations. If the
|
|
|
063806 |
CentOS project would maintain just one CentOS distribution (and many
|
|
|
063806 |
experienced graphic designers ready to create beautiful artworks) this
|
|
|
063806 |
model would be nice. Indeed, this model looks quite similar to that
|
|
|
063806 |
one used by Fedora project, doesn't it. But no, the CentOS project
|
|
|
063806 |
maintains near to 4 major releases of CentOS distribution in parallel,
|
|
|
063806 |
and that fact makes a huge difference since the corporate visual
|
|
|
063806 |
identity point of view.
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
If we use one unique theme for each major release of CentOS
|
|
|
063806 |
distribution, which one of those themes, does we use to cover other
|
|
|
063806 |
CentOS visual manifestations, like websites and promotion stuff?
|
|
|
063806 |
|
|
|
063806 |
In whatever case you choose some release-specific distribution user
|
|
|
063806 |
will be visually isolated from other CentOS visual manifestations like
|
|
|
063806 |
websites and promotion stuff, even if the CentOS brand is present in
|
|
|
063806 |
all visual manifestations. In such a case, probably, users will end up
|
|
|
063806 |
asking themselves, why my CentOS distribution has this design and the
|
|
|
063806 |
CentOS website another one? Isn't them on the same project? With luck
|
|
|
063806 |
the CentOS brand will exonerate user form visual isolation.
