Endorsement logos

Supported by Red Hat means Red Hat provides funding and resources, but the endorsed brand has its own look and feel apart from Red Hat. The Red Hat® brand gives additional equity and credibility to the endorsed brand.

Sponsored by Red Hat means Red Hat is providing funding and resources in a long-term initiative with the endorsed brand, which should follow Red Hat’s corporate guidelines to the best of its ability.

Built on Red Hat means Red Hat software is embedded in another technology, solution, software, or hardware. This logo can be used to show that solutions are running on Red Hat software.

Presented by Red Hat means that Red Hat is curating content,  experiences, or initiatives that are focused on principles (like open source) that Red Hat believes in, rather than our products.

What if none of the endorsement types align to Red Hat’s relationship with my brand or initiative?

Some scenarios justify using a more descriptive endorsement than one of the types outlined above. If your brand or initiative doesn’t align to one of the types of endorsements provided, reach out to brand@redhat.com.
