Log outBrand standards
Brand standards are the source code for our identity. They govern how we look and sound in all types of media. They’re the codification of our rules, and important to follow. But, as with other collaborative efforts, they’re a work in progress―always growing, improving, and adapting to meet new challenges.
Can't find what you're looking for? Check out our old brand standards site.
This is our logo. It's a red hat and "Red Hat" wordmark.
A flexible system
Our logo is flexible and versatile. We can choose the best version for event wayfinding, web pages, buildings, branded swag, or anything else.
Our master brand strategy means we always lead with our corporate brand. Each product logo starts with the Red Hat logo, and then adds the product name.
This system is straightforward, easy to expand as we grow, and means each product and service supports and coexists with our primary brand, Red Hat.
Business partners can download the logos they’re entitled to use by logging in to Red Hat Partner Connect.
Agencies, contractors, and associates can download logos and brand assets using their assigned Red Hat login.
If you do not have a login, ask your Red Hat point of contact to provide what you need directly.
A Red Hat endorsement lends our credibility and reputation for quality, value, and expertise to another brand or program. Endorsements can link brands within our portfolio while offering some freedom for each brand to address different audiences, or present a different brand story or value proposition.

Red Hat certifications validate an individual’s technical skills and knowledge through hands-on, performance-based testing. Only Red Hat Certified Professionals can use our certification marks.
Team logos give each group of talented, entrepreneurial Red Hatters an opportunity to represent their team’s contributions in a consistent way that avoids confusion with Red Hat products or other organizations.
Departments, teams, and roles that want logos should have unique, descriptive names that reflect Red Hat’s organizational structure. All names should include a descriptive term like “team,” “department,” or “manager,” and assume that “Red Hat” will come before the rest of the name.

Co-branding shows a relationship between Red Hat and another company, like a partner or customer. Every partnership is different, so it’s your responsibility to understand and obtain the proper permissions from both Red Hat and the partner or customer involved before you use a co-branded logo.

Brand strategy
Brand strategy guides and informs everything from our visual identity to deeper, more granular decisions about how we present ourselves and our products in the marketplace.
Our brand, beyond logos
A brand is more than a logo and visual system. Color and the way we use type also define us.
"What few things must be the same so that everything else can be different?"
—Michael Tiemann, Vice President, Open Source Affairs, Red Hat
This quote speaks to the benefits of building on open standards. Following a few established rules―about using the same colors and typefaces, for example―creates a strong underpinning that reinforces our brand and lets us be more creative and innovative without having to do redundant work.
Color
After our logo, the color red is our most recognizable brand asset. Our official color was an easy decision. Red is energy, strength, power, determination, passion, love, and courage. Red is the color of revolution.
Type
How our words look is as important to our brand voice as the words we choose. That’s why we developed an open source type family that’s custom-built for our personality.
Putting it all together
Combining these elements gives you a fresh, clean, flexible visual system without any being too closely tied to the past. We can unify products and services; give internal teams, projects, and programs a crisp, consistent look; and have fun with our brand as we evolve.
We have guidelines and templates for each collateral type, including datasheets, whitepapers, and FAQs. Standard formats mean more efficient content creation and translation, and more accurate content tracking.

From Red Hat Summit keynotes to conference-room sales meetings, Red Hat presentations should be informative and professional, and represent our brand well. The content must be meaningful and relevant to our audiences. Our stories should be clear and compelling.
Following our templates is the first step to creating a meaningful, engaging presentation.
