    Branding

    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

    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

    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Valid2.png

    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:

    • space around the logo
    • between the "Document Symbol" and the logo text
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Spacing.png
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Valid2.png *You may use a stand alone "LibreOffice" text.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Valid3.png * You may use a stand alone "Document Symbol".
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Invalid1.png * Don't change the position or the order of the branding elements.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Invalid2.png * Don't change the logo by e.g. adding additional graphic elements to the "Document Symbol".
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Invalid3.png * 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.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo Guidelines Invalid4.png * 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

    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.

    Fonts

    Introduction

    The font "Vegur" has been selected for the use within the LibreOffice logo and accompanying text. It was important to find something that appears to be elegant, friendly and clean. For more information how the font has been selected and the text logo has been developed, please have a look at the blog posting Fontastic! How LibreOffice got its font ....

    Since Version 0.7 (September 2012) Vegur has international support.

    Guidelines and Best Practices

    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Valid1.png LibreOffice is the name of the product, whereas ...
    • ... Libre is "bold" to emphasize its meaning
    • ... Office is "normal" to avoid thickness and being visually bloated or aggressive.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Fonts Guidelines Invalid1.png * Don't use the font "Vegur" to mimic the LibreOffice logo text. The spacing has been improved; if possible, use the logo graphic files.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Fonts Guidelines Invalid2.png * Don't use different fonts within the logo. Instead, use the logo graphic files.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Fonts Guidelines Invalid3.png * Don't change the emphasis of the logo text. The emphasis is on "Libre" (bold), not "Office" (normal).

    Guidelines and Best Practices

    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Valid1.png
    • The base color for the logo and all the artwork is LibreGreen 1.
    • The main color may be combined with the accent colors (and its color variations) and any kind of gray (including white and black).
    • The colored logo works best on white or light gray background.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Valid2.png * If the background color is rather dark, please use the inverse logo instead.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Invalid1.png * Don't exchange the color for parts of the logo text.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Invalid2.png * Don't use the colored logo version on a background that is either very intense or very dark. Do use the inverse color version instead.
    LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors Guidelines Invalid3.png * Don't use the colored logo version on accent color backgrounds. Do use the inverse color version instead.
