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.

 \subsection{Distribution Visual Structure}

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}).

      \label{sec:Concepts:Identity:Structure:Web}

It applies to all web applications CentOS uses to handle its needs
4c79b5
(Ex. Portals, Wikis, Forums, Blogs, Bug Tracker). Anything involving
4c79b5
HTML standards should be consider here.

      \label{sec:Concepts:Identity:Structure:Promotion}
4c79b5
4c79b5
It applies to all tangible and non tangible items CentOS uses to
4c79b5
promote its existence. Clothes, posters, installation media,
4c79b5
stationery, release countdown images, banners, stickers, are all
4c79b5
examples of promotion designs.
