The CentOS corporate identity is attached to DejaVu LGC font-family.

Whatever artwork you design for CentOS project, that requires
3b63ff
typography usage, must be done using DejaVu LGC font-family.

@item RULE-1: 
3b63ff
3b63ff
For screen desings (e.g., anything that final destination will never
3b63ff
be printed on paper or any medium outside computre screens) use DejaVu
3b63ff
LGC Sans font-family. 
3b63ff
3b63ff
@item RULE-2: 
3b63ff
3b63ff
For non-screen designs (e.g., anything that final desition will be

3b63ff
The only execption for the two rules above is the typography used
3b63ff
inside CentOS logo. The CentOS logo is the main visual representation
3b63ff
of the CentOS project so the typography used in must ever be the same
3b63ff
no matter where it be shown. It also have be clear enough to dismiss
3b63ff
any confussion between similar typefaces (e.g., the number one (1)
3b63ff
sometimes is confuesed with the letter @samp{el} (l) or letter
3b63ff
@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
3b63ff
Enterprise Operating System} is have the size in points the phrase
3b63ff
has.
3b63ff
3b63ff
When the CentOS release brand is built, typography used for the
3b63ff
release number is DejaVu LGC Serif Regular (not in bold, not in
3b63ff
italic, not in anything else). The release number size is thirty
3b63ff
points larger than default @samp{CentOS} word. The separation between
3b63ff
relase 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
3b63ff
to to make a registered trademark (®) of CentOS logo. Make a register
3b63ff
trademark of CentOS Logo prevents legal complications in the market
3b63ff
place of brands. It grants the consistency, through time, of CentOS
3b63ff
project corporate visual identity.
