| &TCBRAND; is the main visual manifestaion of &TCP;. &TCP; |
| uses &TCBRAND; to connect all the visual manifestions it is |
| made of (e.g., GNU/Linux Distributions, Web sites, Stationery, |
| etc.) and, this way, provides recognition |
| <footnote> |
| <para> |
| ... just as a GPG signature might do for RPM packages. |
| </para> |
| </footnote> |
| among similar projects available on the Internet. The CentOS |
| Brand is made of a graphical component (&TCSYMBOL;) and a |
| typographical component (&TCTYPE;) that, when put together, |
| make &TCLOGO;. The components that make &TCBRAND; can be used |
| together or separately, considering that, in hierarchy order, |
| &TCLOGO; is rather prefered than &TCSYMBOL;, as well as |
| &TCSYMBOL; is rather prefered than &TCTYPE;. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| In addition to those components mentioned above, &TCBRAND; |
| includes another component named &TCMOTIF;. &TCMOTIF; is |
| mainly used as background on images and is directly related to |
| the look and feel of all visual manifestations &TCP; shows its |
| existence on. In contrast with &TCLOGO;, &TCSYMBOL; and |
| &TCTYPE;; &TCMOTIF; might change from time to time providing a |
| vehicle to <quote>refresh</quote> how &TCP; looks and feels. |

| |
| <para> |
| &TCBRAND; and all the visual manifestations derivated from it |
| are available for you to study and propose improvement around |
| a good citizen's will inside &TCC;, but you are not allowed to |
| redistribute them elsewhere, without the given permission of |
| &TCP;. |
| </para> |

| <para> |
| If you need to redistribute either &TCLOGO; or any visual |
| manifestation derived from it, write your intentions to the |
| The CentOS Developers mailing list (<ulink |
| url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">centos-devel@centos.org</ulink>). |
