BRAND
This document describes the guidelines for the creation of the current campaign of marketing materials for openSUSE. Using this information should enable the community to create correctly branded materials for their needs.
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing to add but when there is nothing left to take away.
We think the openSUSE personality can be represented by colours. Using the same colours for all our materials is a way to express the mission and be recognized.
The brand color palette consists of primary and additional colors, each of which can be reproduced as 4 tints. For anything other than printed materials use the RGB or HEX colors.
When printing it is prefered to use the Pantone colors (coated or uncoated as suits the paper/medium and print process). CMYK colors can be used when is not posible to use PANTONE colors. Grayscale values, presented as % of black, are used for non-color applications.
They’ll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like; but that particular green, never.
