@subheading Description
c392b3
c392b3
The CentOS Brand provides the one unique name or trademark that
c392b3
connects the producer with their products. In this case, the producer
c392b3
is The CentOS Project and the products are The CentOS Project visual
c392b3
manifestations. 
c392b3
c392b3
The CentOS Brand is the main visual representation of the CentOS
c392b3
project so the typography used in it must be the same always, no
c392b3
matter where it be shown. It also has to be clear enough to dismiss
c392b3
any confussion between similar typefaces (e.g., the number one (1)
c392b3
sometimes is confuesed with the letter @samp{el} (l) or letter
c392b3
@samp{ai} (i)). 
c392b3
c392b3
As convenction, the word @samp{CentOS} uses @samp{Denmark} typography
c392b3
as base, both for the word @samp{CentOS} and the phrase
c392b3
@samp{Community Enterprise Operating System}. The phrase size of
c392b3
CentOS logo is half the size in poits the word @samp{CentOS} has and
c392b3
it below @samp{CentOS} word and aligned with it on the left.  The
c392b3
distance between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
c392b3
Enterprise Operating System} have the size in points the phrase has.

c392b3
c392b3
When the CentOS release brand is built, use @samp{Denmark} typography
c392b3
for the release number. The release number size is two times larger
c392b3
(in height) than default @samp{CentOS} word. The separation between
c392b3
release number and @samp{CentOS} word is twice the size in points of
c392b3
separation between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
c392b3
Enterprise Operating System}.
c392b3
c392b3
Another component inside CentOS logo is the trademark symbol (TM).
c392b3
This symbol specifies that the CentOS logo must be consider a product
c392b3
brand, even it is not a registered one. The trademark symbol uses
c392b3
DejaVu LGC Sans Regular typography. The trademark symbol is aligned
c392b3
right-top on the outter side of @samp{CentOS} word. The trademark
c392b3
symbol must not exceed haf the distance, in points, between
c392b3
@samp{CentOS} word and the release number on its right.
c392b3
c392b3
It would be very convenient for the CentOS Project and its community
c392b3
to to make a registered trademark (®) of CentOS logo. To make a
c392b3
register trademark of CentOS Logo prevents legal complications in the
c392b3
market place of brands. It grants the consistency, through time, of
c392b3
CentOS project corporate visual identity.
