The CentOS corporate identity is attached to @samp{DejaVu LGC}
5eb4a2
font-family.  Whatever artwork you design for CentOS project, that
5eb4a2
requires typography usage, must be done using @samp{DejaVu LGC}
5eb4a2
font-family.

5eb4a2
@item Recommendation-1: 
3b63ff
3b63ff
For screen desings (e.g., anything that final destination will never
5eb4a2
be printed on paper or any medium outside computer screens) use
5eb4a2
@samp{DejaVu LGC Sans} font-family. 
3b63ff
5eb4a2
@item Recommendation-2: 
3b63ff
3b63ff
For non-screen designs (e.g., anything that final desition will be
a845f1
printed on paper or any other medium outside computer screens) use
5eb4a2
@samp{DejaVu LGC Serif} font-family. As convenction files described in
5eb4a2
this rule are stored under @samp{Stationery} directories.

5eb4a2
The only execption for the two recommendations above is the typography
5eb4a2
used inside CentOS logo. The CentOS logo is the main visual
5eb4a2
representation of the CentOS project so the typography used in it must
5eb4a2
be the same always, no matter where it be shown. It also has to be
5eb4a2
clear enough to dismiss any confussion between similar typefaces
5eb4a2
(e.g., the number one (1) sometimes is confuesed with the letter
5eb4a2
@samp{el} (l) or letter @samp{ai} (i)). 
3b63ff
3b63ff
As CentOS logo typography convenction, the word @samp{CentOS} uses
3b63ff
@samp{Denmark} typography as base, both for the word @samp{CentOS} and
3b63ff
the phrase @samp{Community Enterprise Operating System}. The size of
3b63ff
CentOS logo's phrase is half the size in poits the word @samp{CentOS}
3b63ff
has and it below @samp{CentOS} word and aligned with it on the left.
3b63ff
The distance between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
38bcd9
Enterprise Operating System} have the size in points the phrase has.
3b63ff
5eb4a2
When the CentOS release brand is built, use @samp{Denmark} typography
5eb4a2
for the release number. The release number size is two times larger
5eb4a2
(in height) than default @samp{CentOS} word. The separation between
38bcd9
release number and @samp{CentOS} word is twice the size in points of
3b63ff
separation between @samp{CentOS} word and phrase @samp{Community
3b63ff
Enterprise Operating System}.
3b63ff
3b63ff
Another component inside CentOS logo is the trademark symbol (TM).
3b63ff
This symbol specifies that the CentOS logo must be consider a product
3b63ff
brand, even it is not a registered one. The trademark symbol uses
3b63ff
DejaVu LGC Sans Regular typography. The trademark symbol is aligned
3b63ff
right-top on the outter side of @samp{CentOS} word. The trademark
3b63ff
symbol must not exceed haf the distance, in points, between
3b63ff
@samp{CentOS} word and the release number on its right.
3b63ff
3b63ff
It would be very convenient for the CentOS Project and its community
38bcd9
to to make a registered trademark (®) of CentOS logo. To make a
38bcd9
register trademark of CentOS Logo prevents legal complications in the
38bcd9
market place of brands. It grants the consistency, through time, of
38bcd9
CentOS project corporate visual identity.
