Introduction
&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
... just as a GPG signature might do for RPM packages.
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;.
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 refresh
how &TCP; looks and feels.
&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;.
If you need to redistribute either &TCLOGO; or any visual
manifestation derived from it, write your intentions to the
The CentOS Developers mailing list (centos-devel@centos.org).
