076f77
This section exists to organize digital typographies used by the
076f77
CentOS project.

@subsection Usage
076f77
076f77
The CentOS corporate identity is attached to @samp{DejaVu LGC}
076f77
font-family.  Whatever artwork you design for CentOS project, that
076f77
requires typography usage, must be done using @samp{DejaVu LGC}
076f77
font-family.
076f77
076f77
@table @strong
076f77
@item Recommendation-1: 
076f77
076f77
For screen desings (e.g., anything that final destination will never
076f77
be printed on paper or any medium outside computer screens) use
076f77
@samp{DejaVu LGC Sans} font-family. 
076f77
076f77
@item Recommendation-2: 
076f77
076f77
For non-screen designs (e.g., anything that final desition will be
076f77
printed on paper or any other medium outside computer screens) use
076f77
@samp{DejaVu LGC Serif} font-family. As convenction files described in
076f77
this rule are stored under @samp{Stationery} directories.  
076f77
@end table
076f77
076f77
The only execption for the two recommendations above is the typography
076f77
used inside CentOS logo. The CentOS logo is the main visual
076f77
representation of the CentOS project so the typography used in it must
076f77
be the same always, no matter where it be shown. It also has to be
076f77
clear enough to dismiss any confussion between similar typefaces
076f77
(e.g., the number one (1) sometimes is confuesed with the letter
076f77
@samp{el} (l) or letter @samp{ai} (i)). 
076f77
076f77
As CentOS logo typography convenction, the word @samp{CentOS} uses
076f77
@samp{Denmark} typography as base, both for the word @samp{CentOS} and
076f77
the phrase @samp{Community Enterprise Operating System}. The phrase
076f77
size of CentOS logo is half the size in poits the word @samp{CentOS}
076f77
has and it below @samp{CentOS} word and aligned with it on the left.
076f77
The distance between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
076f77
Enterprise Operating System} have the size in points the phrase has.
076f77
076f77
When the CentOS release brand is built, use @samp{Denmark} typography
076f77
for the release number. The release number size is two times larger
076f77
(in height) than default @samp{CentOS} word. The separation between
076f77
release number and @samp{CentOS} word is twice the size in points of
076f77
separation between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
076f77
Enterprise Operating System}.
076f77
076f77
Another component inside CentOS logo is the trademark symbol (TM).
076f77
This symbol specifies that the CentOS logo must be consider a product
076f77
brand, even it is not a registered one. The trademark symbol uses
076f77
DejaVu LGC Sans Regular typography. The trademark symbol is aligned
076f77
right-top on the outter side of @samp{CentOS} word. The trademark
076f77
symbol must not exceed haf the distance, in points, between
076f77
@samp{CentOS} word and the release number on its right.
076f77
076f77
It would be very convenient for the CentOS Project and its community
076f77
to to make a registered trademark (®) of CentOS logo. To make a
076f77
register trademark of CentOS Logo prevents legal complications in the
076f77
market place of brands. It grants the consistency, through time, of
076f77
CentOS project corporate visual identity.
