    3.18.2 Description

    4c79b5
    5fb024

    It applies to all major releases of CentOS distribution.

    3.18.2.1 One theme for all major releases

    5fb024
    5fb024

    Sometimes, specific visual manifestations are formed by common

    5fb024
    components which have internal differences. That is the case of CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution visual manifestation.  
    bc3531

    5fb024

    Since a visual style point of view, the CentOS distributions share

    5fb024
    common artwork components like Anaconda --to cover the CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution installation--, BootUp --to cover the CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution start up--, and Backgrounds --to cover the CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution desktop--.  Now, since a technical point of view, those
    5fb024
    common artwork components are made of software improved constantly.
    5fb024
    So, we need to find a way to keep one unique name and one unique
    5fb024
    visual style in artwork components that have internal difference and
    5fb024
    also remark internal difference as well.

    Remarking the CentOS release schema inside each

    5fb024
    major release of CentOS distribution --or similar visual
    5fb024
    manifestation-- takes high attention inside The CentOS Project
    5fb024
    corporate visual identity. It should be very clear for people which
    5fb024
    major release of CentOS distribution they are using.
    5fb024

    5fb024
    5fb024

    In order to remark the CentOS release schema, the CentOS Artwork SIG

    5fb024
    uses a release-specific brand design named "The CentOS Release
    5fb024
    Brand". The CentOS release brand is compossed by the CentOS logotype
    5fb024
    and the CentOS major release number (as specified in CentOS
    5fb024
    release schema definition). In this solution, the CentOS release brand
    5fb024
    is set inside all release-specific artworks (e.g., distribution,
    5fb024
    installation media, etc.) in remarkable way.   The CentOS release
    5fb024
    brand is the design component that lets us remark the CentOS release
    5fb024
    schema inside the monolithic corporate visual identity structure we
    5fb024
    propose to use.

    3.18.2.2 One theme for each major release

    5fb024
    5fb024

    Other way we've been using to remark CentOS release schema is

    5fb024
    applying one unique theme for each major release of CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution.  That is, if we have 4 major releases of CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution, we need to provide 4 different themes to cover each
    5fb024
    CentOS distribution available.
    bc3531

    5fb024

    Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, you can create many themes and that

    5fb024
    is very convenient. But using one unique theme for each major
    5fb024
    release of CentOS distribution would bring visual isolation among
    5fb024
    distributions, websites and promotion visual manifestations. If the
    5fb024
    CentOS project would maintain just one CentOS distribution (and many
    5fb024
    experienced graphic designers ready to create beautiful artworks) this
    5fb024
    model would be nice. Indeed, this model looks quite similar to that
    5fb024
    one used by Fedora project, doesn't it. But no, the CentOS project
    5fb024
    maintains near to 4 major releases of CentOS distribution in parallel,
    5fb024
    and that fact makes a huge difference since the corporate visual
    5fb024
    identity point of view.
    5fb024

    5fb024

    If we use one unique theme for each major release of CentOS

    5fb024
    distribution, which one of those themes, does we use to cover other
    5fb024
    CentOS visual manifestations, like websites and promotion stuff? 
    5fb024

    5fb024

    In whatever case you choose some release-specific distribution user

    5fb024
    will be visually isolated from other CentOS visual manifestations like
    5fb024
    websites and promotion stuff, even if the CentOS brand is present in
    5fb024
    all visual manifestations. In such a case, probably, users will end up
    5fb024
    asking themselves, why my CentOS distribution has this design and the
    5fb024
    CentOS website another one? Isn't them on the same project? With luck
    5fb024
    the CentOS brand will exonerate user form visual isolation.
