Branding
Branding is the aspect of marketing that deals with how the brand is perceived. In the case of LibreOffice, this primarily concerns the logo and name, but also affects any future slogans we may use. This page provides information and tips on how the logo and name should be used.
Visual Design:
- Clean: The visual design is straight and clean. Reduced geometric elements are combined to visualize the intended message.
- Balanced: The visual design avoids any extremes. For example, neither extreme coloring nor intensive surface shining effects are used.
- Friendly: The visual design creates a smooth and joyful environment. For example, rounded corners and the fresh color palette are used.
Names
LibreOffice
The official product name is "LibreOffice". For more information how the name "LibreOffice" was chosen, please have a look at the blog posting Agreeing on the child's name...
Details:
- Don't add a ".org" to the name: Although our aim is to establish a great community project, people tend to forget any ".org" part. Thus, we prefer to use "LibreOffice", only.
- Don't use a whitespace between "Libre" and "Office": Both belong together, so we prefer "LibreOffice" instead of "Libre Office".
How do you pronounce "LibreOffice"? Listen to the start of our New Features video for an example.
Some people asked for an acronym and the unofficial "LibO" has been proposed.
The Document Foundation
The Document Foundation is an independent self-governing meritocratic foundation. For more information, please have a look at the Document Foundation website.
Details:
- The text "Document Foundation" refers to the official name.
- The text "The Document Foundation" is used on marketing material and the websites.
Key Visuals
todo (document symbol, triangles, gradients, background)
For more information about the "Document Symbol" please have a look at the blog posting 1001 Document Icons
Usage Examples
- Graphic "10th community anniversary"
- Blog posting Colorful and Pretty
Logos
Introduction
The logo is both used to represent the software "LibreOffice" and to refer to its home - The Document Foundation.
Guidelines and Best Practices
|
Space is information, although it seems that "nothing" is there. So please avoid to place any other elements close to the logo. More detailed, at least half the width of the "Document Symbol" is used for:
|
|
|
*You may use a stand alone "LibreOffice" text. | |
|
* You may use a stand alone "Document Symbol". | |
|
* Don't change the position or the order of the branding elements. | |
|
* Don't change the logo by e.g. adding additional graphic elements to the "Document Symbol". | |
|
* Don't change the aspect ratio of the graphic by stretching it (e.g. changing either height or width). Please keep the aspect ratio and take care that the graphic works pixel perfect on any display. | |
|
* Dont' change the spacing of the elements. In this example, the minimum size between "Document Symbol" and the logo text is too small. | |
Derivative Logos
Logos that don't represent the LibreOffice software or the Document Foundation, but are related to it in some way, may use the LibreOffice symbol to show the relationship they have to it without adhering to the above guidelines. Examples of derivative logos are logos of the individual LibreOffice modules or the LibreOffice Design Team logo. As the LibreOffice logo is a trademark of the Document Foundation, only official LibreOffice projects may use these derivative logos.
Usage Examples
- Blog posting Colorful and Pretty
Resources
The LibreOffice logo consists of a symbol resembling sheet of paper with a cut-off right upper corner (like an arrow pointing up) and the writing "LibreOffice". For official representation of the community a sub-line "The Document Foundation" can be added, other appearances should use the version without subline.
For details please have a look at the Logo policy wiki page.
