<p>The CentOS Project maintains near to four different major releases of
CentOS Distribution. Each major release of CentOS Distribution has
internal differences that make them unique and, at the same time, each
CentOS Distribution individually is tagged into the one unique visual
manifestation (i.e., a CentOS Distribution). So, how could we
implement the monolithic visual structure in one visual manifestation
that has internal difference?
</p>
<p>To answer this question we broke the question in two parts and later
combined the resultant answers to build a possible solution.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <strong>How to visually remark the internal differences?</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Merge both The CentOS Project Release Schema into The CentOS Project
Trademark to build The CentOS Project Release Trademark. The CentOS
Project Release Trademark remarks two things: first, the image is from
The CentOS Project and second, the major release of CentOS
Distribution the image belongs to.
</p>
<p>See section <a href="repository_18.html#SEC70">The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Models/Tpl/Brands'</tt> Directory</a>, for more
information on how to develop and improve The CentOS Project Brand.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <strong>How to remark the visual resemblance?</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Use a common artistic motif as background for all CentOS Distribution
images.
</p>
<p>See section <a href="repository_39.html#SEC177">The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> Directory</a>, for more information.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <strong>So, combining answers above, we could conclude that:</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>In order to implement the CentOS Monolithic Visual Structure
(see section <a href="repository_8.html#SEC16">The <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> Directory</a>) on CentOS Distribution visual
manifestations, a CentOS Release Trademark and a common background
(based on one unique artistic motif) should be used.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<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 everyone which
major release of CentOS Distribution they are using.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Other recommendation that have being discussed is that of producing
one unique visual style for <em>each</em> major release of CentOS
Distribution. That is, if we have 4 different major releases of
CentOS Distribution, we need to provide 4 different visual styles to
cover each CentOS Distribution art work needs. Even such schema could
be produced inside CentOS Artwork Repository, using one unique theme
for <em>each</em> major release of CentOS Distribution would introduce
visual isolation to CentOS Distribution, as visual manifestation of
The CentOS Project.
</p>
<p>As previously said, The CentOS Project maintains near to 4 different
major releases of CentOS Distribution in parallel, and that fact
creates a complete different perspective since the structural point of
view. Consider the following: If we use one unique visual style for
<em>each</em> major release of CentOS Distribution, which one of those
visual styles does we use to cover other CentOS visual manifestations,
like web sites and promotion stuff?
</p>
<p>Some persons may end up asking themselves, why the CentOS Distribution
I am using has this visual style tnd he CentOS web sites a different
one? Isn't them all part of the same project? Furtunely, the
presence of the CentOS Brand could exonerate those persons form
complete visual isolation.
