Default Design Models for CentOS Themes provide design models for the

632e8b
following components:

632e8b
Distribution
632e8b

Design models for CentOS Distribution (e.g., Anaconda, Firstboot, Gdm,

632e8b
Grub, Gsplash, Kdm, Ksplash, Rhgb and Syslinux, etc.).
ff7772
See section The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro'</tt> Directory, for

more information.

2.21.2 Description

ff7772
ff7772

This directory implements the concept of Default Design Models

ff7772
for CentOS Themes.  Default Design Models for CentOS Themes provide
ff7772
the common structural information (e.g., image dimensions, translation
ff7772
markers, trademark position, etc.) the centos-art script
ff7772
uses to produce images when no other design model is specified.
ff7772

ff7772

Deisgn models in this directory do use the CentOS Release

ff7772
Brand. The CentOS Release Brand is a combination of both The CentOS
ff7772
Type and The CentOS Release Schema used to illustrate the major
ff7772
release of CentOS Distribution the image produced belongs to.
ff7772
See section The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Models/Tpl/Brands'</tt> Directory, for more
ff7772
information.

2.21.3 Usage

ff7772
ff7772

The CentOS Project maintains near to four different major releases of

ff7772
CentOS Distribution. Each major release of CentOS Distribution has
ff7772
internal differences that make them unique and, at the same time, each
ff7772
CentOS Distribution individually is tagged into the one unique visual
ff7772
manifestation (i.e., Distribution). So, how could we implement the
ff7772
monolithic visual structure in one visual manifestation that has
ff7772
internal difference?
ff7772

ff7772

To answer this question we broke the question in two parts and later

ff7772
combined the resultant answers to build a possible solution. 
ff7772

ff7772
ff7772
How to remark the internal differences visually?
ff7772
ff7772

Merge both The CentOS Project Release Schema into The CentOS Project

ff7772
Trademark to build The CentOS Project Release Trademark.  The CentOS
ff7772
Project Release Trademark remarks two things: first, it remarks the
ff7772
image is from The CentOS Project and second, it remarks which major
ff7772
release of CentOS Distribution does the image belongs to.
ff7772
See section The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Models/Tpl/Brands'</tt> Directory, for more
ff7772
information on how to develop and improve The CentOS Project Brand.
ff7772

ff7772
ff7772
How to remark the visual resemblance?
ff7772
ff7772

Use a common artistic motifs as background for all CentOS Distribution

ff7772
images.  See section The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> Directory, for more
ff7772
information.
ff7772

ff7772
ff7772
So, combining answers above, we could conclude that:
ff7772
ff7772

In order to implement the CentOS Monolithic Visual Structure on CentOS

ff7772
Distribution visual manifestations, a CentOS Release Trademark and a
ff7772
background information based on one unique artistic motif should be
ff7772
used in all remarkable images The CentOS Distribution visual
ff7772
manifestation is made of.

Important

Important

Remarking the CentOS Release Schema inside each

ff7772
major release of CentOS Distribution --or similar visual
ff7772
manifestations-- takes high attention inside The CentOS
ff7772
Project corporate visual identity. It should be very clear for
ff7772
everyone which major release of CentOS Distribution is being used.
ff7772

ff7772
ff7772

Other recommendations have been discussed in CentOS Developers mailing

ff7772
list (centos-devel@centos.org). One of them is producing one
ff7772
unique visual style for each major release of CentOS
ff7772
Distribution.  That is, if we have four different major releases of
ff7772
CentOS Distribution, we need to provide four different visual styles
ff7772
to cover each CentOS Distribution artistic needs.  Even such schema
ff7772
could be produced inside CentOS Artwork Repository, using it could
ff7772
introduce visual isolation to different visual manifestations of The
ff7772
CentOS Project.
ff7772

ff7772

As previously said, The CentOS Project maintains near to four

ff7772
different major releases of CentOS Distribution in parallel and that
ff7772
fact creates a complete different perspective since the structural
ff7772
point of view. If one unique visual style is used for each
ff7772
major release of CentOS Distribution, which one of those different
ff7772
visual styles would be used to cover other visual manifestations, like
ff7772
The CentOS Web sites and The CentOS Promotion stuff?
ff7772

ff7772

Some persons may end up asking themselves, why the CentOS Distribution

ff7772
I am using has this visual style and the CentOS Web sites a different
ff7772
one?  Isn't them all part of the same project?
ff7772

ff7772

Creating a linear and uniform visual style for all visual

ff7772
manifestations of The CentOS Project does create a strong feeling of
ff7772
integrity, order and property on persons interacting with the project
ff7772
through its manifestations. Every single detail, in every
ff7772
manifestation The CentOS Project expresses out its existence say what
ff7772
The CentOS Project is.
ff7772

ff7772

I don't think The CentOS Project as an ambiguous project, but a direct

ff7772
and very pragmatic project where its community makes the central axis
ff7772
of movement. A manifestation of freedom to people to use computers and
ff7772
share as natural right. A manifestation of people kindness whose make
ff7772
the best they know to do in favor of themselves as manifestation of
ff7772
everyone else.  In such feeling there is no space for contradictions
ff7772
or ununiform visual structures, but very uniform visual structures
ff7772
that can be altered by anyone to fit personal needs.
ff7772

ff7772

I strongly believe that The CentOS Project, as social organization,

ff7772
should be that way uniform and provide the means to let everyone do
ff7772
customzations in their own basis whenever it be clear that once such
ff7772
uniformity has been changed by someone differnt to The CentOS Project,
ff7772
it is no longer a visual manifestation of The CentOS Project, but a
ff7772
modified visual manifestation of The CentOS Project.
