The CentOS Project maintains near to four different major releases of

632e8b
CentOS Distribution. Each major release of CentOS Distribution has
632e8b
internal differences that make them unique and, at the same time, each
632e8b
CentOS Distribution individually is tagged into the one unique visual
632e8b
manifestation (i.e., a CentOS Distribution). So, how could we
632e8b
implement the monolithic visual structure in one visual manifestation
632e8b
that has internal difference?
632e8b

632e8b

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

632e8b
combined the resultant answers to build a possible solution. 
632e8b

632e8b
632e8b
How to visually remark the internal differences?
632e8b
632e8b

Merge both The CentOS Project Release Schema into The CentOS Project

632e8b
Trademark to build The CentOS Project Release Trademark.  The CentOS
632e8b
Project Release Trademark remarks two things: first, the image is from
632e8b
The CentOS Project and second, the major release of CentOS
632e8b
Distribution the image belongs to.
632e8b

632e8b

See section The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Models/Tpl/Brands'</tt> Directory, for more

632e8b
information on how to develop and improve The CentOS Project Brand.
632e8b

632e8b
632e8b
How to remark the visual resemblance?
632e8b
632e8b

Use a common artistic motif as background for all CentOS Distribution

632e8b
images.
632e8b

632e8b

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

632e8b

632e8b
632e8b
So, combining answers above, we could conclude that:
632e8b
632e8b

In order to implement the CentOS Monolithic Visual Structure

632e8b
(see section The <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> Directory) on CentOS Distribution visual
632e8b
manifestations, a CentOS Release Trademark and a common background
632e8b
(based on one unique artistic motif) should be used.

Remarking the CentOS release schema inside each

632e8b
major release of CentOS Distribution --or similar visual
632e8b
manifestation-- takes high attention inside The CentOS Project
632e8b
corporate visual identity. It should be very clear for everyone which
632e8b
major release of CentOS Distribution they are using.
632e8b

632e8b
632e8b

Other recommendation that have being discussed is that of producing

632e8b
one unique visual style for each major release of CentOS
632e8b
Distribution.  That is, if we have 4 different major releases of
632e8b
CentOS Distribution, we need to provide 4 different visual styles to
632e8b
cover each CentOS Distribution art work needs.  Even such schema could
632e8b
be produced inside CentOS Artwork Repository, using one unique theme
632e8b
for each major release of CentOS Distribution would introduce
632e8b
visual isolation to CentOS Distribution, as visual manifestation of
632e8b
The CentOS Project.
632e8b

632e8b

As previously said, The CentOS Project maintains near to 4 different

632e8b
major releases of CentOS Distribution in parallel, and that fact
632e8b
creates a complete different perspective since the structural point of
632e8b
view. Consider the following: If we use one unique visual style for
632e8b
each major release of CentOS Distribution, which one of those
632e8b
visual styles does we use to cover other CentOS visual manifestations,
632e8b
like web sites and promotion stuff?
632e8b

632e8b

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

632e8b
I am using has this visual style tnd he CentOS web sites a different
632e8b
one?  Isn't them all part of the same project?  Furtunely, the
632e8b
presence of the CentOS Brand could exonerate those persons form
632e8b
complete visual isolation.
