Red Hat Summit logo guidelines

Red Hat® Summit is our annual open source technology event for thousands of IT professionals. At the event, we announce new products and programs to customers, partners, and prospects. We also communicate our technology vision to the world by spending time with analysts, members of the press, and other industry influencers.

While we facilitate and attend many other events throughout the year, Red Hat Summit— being our largest event of the year—is the only event with a dedicated logo. The visual theme for Red Hat Summit evolves each year, and themed graphics are placed throughout the physical and digital event spaces, but the Red Hat Summit logo remains the same.

The Red Hat Summit logo with appropriate clear space

Clear space is the area around the logo that should not have text, distracting graphics, or other logos. The clear space should be at least double the height of the letter "e" all the way around the logo.

The Red Hat Summit logo with appropriate spacing above the Red Hat logo

When using the Red Hat logo and the Red Hat Summit logo together, clear space rules still apply but the size of the Red Hat logo can change. The width of the Red Hat logo should be no smaller than the width of the word "Red Hat" in the Red Hat Summit logo, and no larger than the overall width of the Red Hat Summit logo.

We designed the Red Hat Summit logo to look like a navigational marker because the conference is one of the best opportunities for Red Hat customers, partners, and community members to come together in the spirit of innovative discovery.

Use the full color (red background with white text) Summit logo unless there is a production constraint. For instance, if you can print in only one color or if the logo is being embroidered or embossed, use a one-color version in red, white, or black.

Red Hat Summit logo in use

Events like Red Hat Summit are an opportunity to experience the Red Hat brand, so we want to highlight Red Hat whenever possible. By default, all event materials—including websites, handouts, ads, swag, and navigational signage—should include both the Red Hat Summit logo and the Red Hat logo.

For t-shirts, use one logo on the pocket and the other on the back or sleeve, or incorporate one of the logos into the t-shirt graphic.

For swag that has only one imprint area, use both logos with enough space between them to avoid cramping the visuals. The Red Hat Summit logo is typically larger than the Red Hat logo.
