        &TCBRAND; is the main visual manifestaion of &TC;;.  &TC;;
bc9d74
        uses &TCBRAND; to connect all the visual manifestions it is
bc9d74
        made of (e.g., GNU/Linux Distributions, Web sites, Stationery,
bc9d74
        etc.) and, this way, provides recognition

        among similar projects available on the Internet. The CentOS
bc9d74
        Brand is made of a graphical component (&TCSYMBOL;) and a
bc9d74
        typographical component (&TCTYPE;) that, when put together,
bc9d74
        make &TCLOGO;. The components that make &TCBRAND; can be used
bc9d74
        together or separately, considering that, in hierarchy order,
bc9d74
        &TCLOGO; is rather prefered than &TCSYMBOL;, as well as
bc9d74
        &TCSYMBOL; is rather prefered than &TCTYPE;.

        In addition to those components mentioned above, &TCBRAND;
bc9d74
        includes another component named &TCMOTIF;. &TCMOTIF; is
bc9d74
        mainly used as background on images and is directly related to
bc9d74
        the look and feel of all visual manifestations &TC;; shows its
bc9d74
        existence on.  In contrast with &TCLOGO;, &TCSYMBOL; and
bc9d74
        &TCTYPE;; &TCMOTIF; might change from time to time providing a
bc9d74
        vehicle to <quote>refresh</quote> how &TC;; looks and feels.

        &TCBRAND; and all the visual manifestations derivated from it

        are available for you to study and propose improvement around

        redistribute them elsewhere, without the given permission of
