Branding Guidelines Draft

This is a draft for the OpenOffice.org Branding Guidelines. Elements for discussion can be posted here. The content of this site is not yet official.
Discussion happens either on the branding mailing list or from time to time on IRC.

Identity Statement

Mission Statement

To create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.
  • What does OOo stand for? What general ideas/statements do we want OOo's branding to be guided by?

OpenOffice.org stands for

  • Openness
  • Freedom
  • Interoperability (Standards)
  • Quality
  • Experience
  • Collaboration

How OpenOffice.org's branding reflects this

  • How do the aforementioned values translate to OOo's branding: minimalism? sharp/crisp/clear presentation? This is an opportunity to set some directions for designers (it could also be developed on the way as OOo's new branding develops)

Logo Grayscale (Proposal)

This is a conversion from a 24-bit image to an 8-bit image to obtain the correct color.
Color code of gray:
Blacktone: 55%
RGB: R 113 - G 113 - B 113
HEX: # 71 71 71

  • Guidelines on using the gulls by themselves (e.g. the gull orb)

Aspect Ratio

Never stretch the logo from it's original form but respect its aspect ratio.

Background Colour

Don't use background colors that negatively affects readability of the logo.

Place and Elements

Do not place the gulls on a different place.

Trademark Symbol

Do not remove the ™ (trademark symbol)

Font

The best font to use in combination with the OpenOffice.org logo is the open font M plus 1p with broad support of non-Latin areas in Unicode.

If a designer is able to do so, we recommend to round the rectangular dots in the font when creating a graphical work containing this font.

Logo Usage Guidelines Proposals

Members of the Branding initiative have proposed additional logo usage guidelines. Until it is decided if they are accepted, these guidelines will be on the Logo Usage Guideline Proposals wiki page.
