The CentOS Project settles down its corporate visual identity on a
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
``monolithic corporate visual identity structure''. In this structure
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
The CentOS Project uses one unique name
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
(``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Identity:Brands}{The CentOS Brand}'') and
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
one unique visual style
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
(``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Identity:Themes:Default}{The CentOS Default
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Theme}'') in all its manifestations.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
The CentOS Project organizes its visual manifestation in four top
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
level structures: The CentOS Distribution, The CentOS Web, The CentOS
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Promotion, and The CentOS Behaiviour. The CentOS Distribution , The
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
CentOS Web, and The CentOS Promotion use one unique name and one
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
unique visual style in all its manifestations.

4c79b5 |
\label{sec:Concepts:Identity:Structure:Distribution}
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
It applies to all major releases of CentOS distribution.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Sometimes, specific visual manifestations are formed by common
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
components which have internal differences. That is the case of CentOS
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Distribution visual manifestation.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Since a visual style point of view, CentOS Distributions share common
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
artwork components like Anaconda ---to cover the CentOS distribution
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
installation---, BootUp ---to cover the CentOS distribution start
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
up---, and Backgrounds ---to cover the CentOS distribution desktop---.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Now, since a technical point of view, those common components are made
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
of software improved constantly.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
The software constant improvement is reflected on a numbered release
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
schema, described in ``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:CentOS:Release}{The
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
CentOS Release Schema}'' (\autoref{sec:Concepts:CentOS:Release}). The CentOS release schema is a tool to
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
provide exact information, specific to one release at any given time.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
People can use this release schema to know the software details that
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
they are using on their computers, report bugs, fixes, suggestions, or
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
simply any kind of usefull information; in the same exact basis.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Remarking the CentOS release schema inside each major release of
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
CentOS Distribution ---or similar visual manifestation--- takes high
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
attention in the sake of The CentOS Project corporate visual identity.
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
For archiving that purpose, graphic designers use ``The CentOS Release
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Brand'' in all artwork components controlling the visual style of
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
CentOS Distribution ---or similar--- visual manifestation.

4c79b5 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
Artwork components controlling the visual style of CentOS Distribution
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
visual manifestation are described in
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
``\hyperlink{par:Distribution}{Distribution}''
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
(\autoref{par:Distribution}).

|
|
|
4c79b5 |
(Ex. Portals, Wikis, Forums, Blogs, Bug Tracker). Anything involving
|
|

4c79b5 |
HTML standards should be consider here.

|
|
|
4c79b5 |
promote its existence. Clothes, posters, installation media,
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
stationery, release countdown images, banners, stickers, are all
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
examples of promotion designs.
