    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Introduction

    A successful visual identity has to be consistent, recognisableand powerful.

    The following guidelines should help all of us to create adistinct, professional visual identity that clearly communicatesour brand values.

    Please take some time to understand how to apply these

    guidelines correctly.

    Why do we need guidelines?

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Brandmarks

    The brandmark is the most recognisable feature of any brandidentity. Our new brandmarks represent our core values.

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Brandmarks

    THE UBUNTU BRANDMARK

    Ubuntu has grown up. Weve revisited the

    circle-of-friends idea and evolved it. Our new

    Ubuntu brandmark has two parts: the word

    mark and the symbol.

    The word mark -Weve designed a new font,

    which harnesses the core values of precision

    and reliability in particular. Given that the

    theme for the next five years is light,

    the preferred use of the word mark is whitetypography on a flat orange-coloured

    background.

    The symbol -The new symbol simplifies and

    sharpens the original circle-of-friends design.

    Its leaner, more refined and more

    contemporary. Wherever possible, the

    symbol should always appear as white on a

    flat orange-coloured background.

    THE CANONICAL LOGO

    The new Canonical brandmark is smart,

    precise and focused. It is clearly linked to

    Ubuntu but equally clearly differentiated.

    The word mark -The Canonical word mark

    adopts the same font as the Ubuntu word

    mark, but uses capital letters. The preferred

    use of the word mark is white typography on

    a flat aubergine-coloured background.

    The symbol -The new symbol plays on

    the ideas of Canonical being focused and

    targeted. These ideas strongly relate to

    our core values of reliability, precision and

    adroitness. Similar to Ubuntu, the symbol

    should always appear as white on a flat

    aubergine-coloured background wherever

    possible.

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Ubuntu and Canonical

    UBUNTU AND CANONICAL

    A strong, purposeful and vibrant identity for Ubuntu andCanonical are central to our success. In the past, thedistinctive look of Ubuntu lent itself well to pure communitymessaging, but it was hard to use the same approach forCanonicals commercial services. We needed to move awayfrom a one-size-fits-all approach and define a clear, recognisableway to engage every audience.

    Bridging the gap

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Our audience

    Ubuntu faces a unique and welcome challenge in appealingto a range of users. But these different users expect

    different things. We have developed a system which will helpdefine the right look and feel for the right target audience.

    A new approachWe have identified six of our core audiences and distilledthem into three groups. Each group represents a differentaudience focus.

    The audience spectrumBefore we produce any material, it should be clear where theaudience emphasis lies on the scales between community and

    commercial, consumer and enterprise, and user and engineer.This will help us determine which colours and designs to use.

    Who are we talking to?

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Colours

    Colour makes a brand instantly recognisable. We like tothink our colour palette is simple, effective and striking.

    We have introduced a palette which includes both a fresh,lively orange, and a rich, mature aubergine. The use ofaubergine indicates commercial involvement, while orangeis a signal of community engagement.

    A vibrant palette

    11/72

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Colours

    THE COLOUR PALETTE EXPLAINED

    Our new palette includes:

    ORANGE - For a community focus.

    Shades only vary according to hierarchy

    of information within tables and diagrams.

    LIGHT AND DARK AUBERGINE - For a

    consumer focus. Lighter shades indicate

    more of a consumer focus, darker shades

    indicate more of an enterprise focus.

    WARM GREY - For balance. Orange and

    aubergine together are very striking.

    The addition of warm grey softens the

    combination of orange and aubergine

    and provides a bridge between the two.

    COOL GREY - For typography, particularly

    body copy. Black can be quite harsh incombination with aubergine, but grey

    delivers more balance while still being legible.

    WHITE - For a clean, fresh and light feel.

    BLACK - For typography and black-and-whiteversions of the brandmark.

    Colour balance chart

    We have introduced a colour balance chart

    which shows the proportional use of colour

    for materials depending on where they sit on

    the audience spectrum.

    At one end of the scale, where the work is

    dominated by the community, the emphasis

    is on a fresh palette, the use of white and

    orange, and warm grey for balance.

    At the other end of the scale, where the work

    is more focused on Canonical, the palette is

    more refined and grounded, with much more

    emphasis on aubergine as the core colour.

    For correct colour specifications for print

    and screen use, please refer to the colour

    palette on page 00.

    For specific examples, please refer to the

    section How does it all come together?.

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines The Ubuntu dots

    Widely spaced dots- On the user-engineer spectrum, we tookinspiration from graph paper and engineering blue prints.

    When you see widely spaced patterns of dots, the content ismore engineering-oriented than user-oriented.

    A large area of widely spaced dots on the page signalengineer orientation only.

    A small set of widely spaced dots can be used as a flourish toadd texture to the page.

    For specific examples, please refer to the sectionHow does it all come together.

    Ubuntu Brand Guidelines Photography Checklist

    GENERAL TIPS

    We use duotone and tritone image treatments

    with colours taken from our palette.

    We can artificially highlight part of an image

    with orange or aubergine.

    When signalling community involvement, we

    use an orange-and-black duotone.

    When signalling Canonical involvement, we

    use an aubergine-and-black duotone.In both cases, we can accent, or highlight, a

    portion of the image using either orange or

    one of the lighter shades of aubergine.

    We can add a dot-pattern flourish to signal

    Canonical ownership and re-enforce the brand.

    CHECKLIST

    1. Where does the piece of work fit on the

    audience spectrum?

    2.Am I using the duotone correctly?

    3.Am I using the correct text colour?

    4. Have I cropped the image in the correct way?

    5. Have I used images from the correct source?

    Please see pages 00 to 00 for detailed specs.

    Text on photographs should be white, either

    directly on the darker portion of the image,

    or on a dark swatch of colour placed on tothe image.

    PICTOGRAMS

    Above are a few examples of our pictograms. They mirror

    the circular aspect of both the CoF and the Canonical logo.

    We use them in both print and on the web. They are used

    to represent a word or an idea.

    COLOURS

    You can use the pictograms in any of the three colours.

    Never mix the colours together. Use orange for Ubuntu,

    aubergine for Canonical and the warm grey for any

    neutral environment.

    See colour section for references.

    CREATING NEW ICONS GUIDING PRINCIPLES

    When creating new icons we have some guiding pinciples:

    1. The style is very simple and graphic

    2. Avoid duplication

    3. The main element is the circle

    4. Use one of the three colours, but only one in each

    individual pictogram

    5. Use the above pictograms as reference

    COLOURWAYS

    When using the pictograms they should be in one colour

    only, either on a white background or one of the brand

    colours as shown above.

    DEFINING THE EXCLUSION ZONE

    The Ubuntu partner logo must always have a clear area

    surrounding it, free from any other element.

    To define this area, measure the height of the roundel

    and use this measure to create the boundary of clear space

    around the logo.
