| |
| <p>It applies to all major releases of CentOS distribution. |

| <h4 class="subsubsection"> 3.18.2.1 One theme for all major releases </h4> |
| |
| <p>Sometimes, specific visual manifestations are formed by common |
| components which have internal differences. That is the case of CentOS |
| distribution visual manifestation. |
| </p> |
| <p>Since a visual style point of view, the CentOS distributions share |
| common artwork components like Anaconda --to cover the CentOS |
| distribution installation--, BootUp --to cover the CentOS |
| distribution start up--, and Backgrounds --to cover the CentOS |
| distribution desktop--. Now, since a technical point of view, those |
| common artwork components are made of software improved constantly. |
| So, we need to find a way to keep one unique name and one unique |
| visual style in artwork components that have internal difference and |
| also remark internal difference as well. |
| </p> |
| <blockquote class="orange"><img src="/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Identity/Widgets/Img/icon-admonition-star.png" alt="Important"><h3>Important</h3><p> Remarking the CentOS release schema inside each |
| major release of CentOS distribution --or similar visual |
| manifestation-- takes <em>high attention</em> inside The CentOS Project |
| corporate visual identity. It should be very clear for people which |
| major release of CentOS distribution they are using. |
| </p></blockquote> |
| |
| <p>In order to remark the CentOS release schema, the CentOS Artwork SIG |
| uses a release-specific brand design named "The CentOS Release |
| Brand". The CentOS release brand is compossed by the CentOS logotype |
| <em>and</em> the CentOS major release number (as specified in CentOS |
| release schema definition). In this solution, the CentOS release brand |
| is set inside all release-specific artworks (e.g., distribution, |
| installation media, etc.) in remarkable way. The CentOS release |
| brand is the design component that lets us remark the CentOS release |
| schema inside the monolithic corporate visual identity structure we |
| propose to use. |
| </p> |
| |
| <a name="SEC107"></a> |
| <h4 class="subsubsection"> 3.18.2.2 One theme for each major release </h4> |
| |
| <p>Other way we've been using to remark CentOS release schema is |
| applying one unique theme for <em>each</em> major release of CentOS |
| distribution. That is, if we have 4 major releases of CentOS |
| distribution, we need to provide 4 different themes to cover each |
| CentOS distribution available. |
| </p> |
| <p>Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, you can create many themes and that |
| is very convenient. But using one unique theme for <em>each</em> major |
| release of CentOS distribution would bring visual isolation among |
| distributions, websites and promotion visual manifestations. If the |
| CentOS project would maintain just one CentOS distribution (and many |
| experienced graphic designers ready to create beautiful artworks) this |
| model would be nice. Indeed, this model looks quite similar to that |
| one used by Fedora project, doesn't it. But no, the CentOS project |
| maintains near to 4 major releases of CentOS distribution in parallel, |
| and that fact makes a huge difference since the corporate visual |
| identity point of view. |
| </p> |
| <p>If we use one unique theme for <em>each</em> major release of CentOS |
| distribution, which one of those themes, does we use to cover other |
| CentOS visual manifestations, like websites and promotion stuff? |
| </p> |
| <p>In whatever case you choose some release-specific distribution user |
| will be visually isolated from other CentOS visual manifestations like |
| websites and promotion stuff, even if the CentOS brand is present in |
| all visual manifestations. In such a case, probably, users will end up |
| asking themselves, why my CentOS distribution has this design and the |
| CentOS website another one? Isn't them on the same project? With luck |
| the CentOS brand will exonerate user form visual isolation. |
