The elementary brand belongs to elementary, Inc., the company that guides and supports development of elementary products. These guidelines describe when and how the elementary brand should be used.
The word elementary is a trademark of elementary, Inc. to refer to the company itself. It is always lower-case, even when beginning sentences. It may also be used along with product names (i.e. “elementary OS”) to refer to a specific product of elementary, Inc.
The primary product of elementary, Inc. is elementary OS. For clarity, elementary OS should never be shortened to “elementary” or any abbreviation.
elementary, Inc. claims two marks: the “e” logomark and the “elementary” logotype. Both are considered trademarks and represent elementary, Inc.
Entrambi dovrebbero essere usati tenendo presente che:
I marchi non vanno deformati, ruotati, capovolti o alterati in alcun modo.
Non utilizzare i marchi su uno sfondo eccessivamente ricco di elementi; le tinte unite funzionano meglio.
The marks should be monochromatic; e.g. white on a dark background or black on a light background.
The “e” logomark is to be used to refer to elementary, Inc., especially when a square ratio is required. It should be used at larger sizes and when alongside similarly-weighted logos. The thinner, alternate logomark may be used in smaller contexts or when the default logomark feels too heavy.
The “elementary” logotype is to be used when space allows to refer to elementary, Inc. It may also be used before a product name to refer to a specific product of elementary, Inc.
Il logotipo dovrebbe sempre essere usato applicando le seguenti linee guida:
Do not attempt to recreate the logotype by writing “elementary” in a specific font; always use the provided graphic.
Non usare il logo con dimensioni piccole; se non è leggibile al suo posto usa il simbolo.
We employ the use of color combined with our name and marks to establish our brand. We use the following palette:
For web and print, we use Inter for headings and body copy. For code blocks, we use Roboto Mono.
We invite third-party developers creating products for elementary OS to adopt certain elements of the elementary brand for consistency:
Tuttavia, per evitare confusione, limitiamo l'uso del nome elementary e relativi marchi:
You are encouraged to say that your app or service is “designed for elementary OS,” but do not use the elementary name or marks as part of the name of your company, application, product, or service—or in any logo you create.
Usa il nome o il marchio elementary solo per riferirti a elementary, Inc. o ai suoi prodotti (per es. elementary OS).
I prodotti della comunità (come siti, fan club, ecc.) sono incoraggiati ad utilizzare il logo comunitario di elementary:
This helps establish the product as part of the overall community while reducing confusion that can arise from using the elementary, Inc. logomark.
As long as our software carries the elementary branding, the experience must be consistent—whether the OS was downloaded from our website or pre-installed on a hardware product.
The software components of elementary OS may be modified and redistributed according to the open source terms of the software’s licensing; however, the above branding and trademarks may only be redistributed under one or more of the following conditions:
The software remains substantially unchanged; including default apps, stylesheet and iconography, etc., or
Software modifications are approved by elementary, Inc.
Drivers and hardware enablement are of course acceptable. We understand that distributor branding (i.e. default wallpapers) can be important for distributors, so these modifications will typically be approved. If in doubt, email [email protected] for clarification or direction.
If you’re unable or unwilling to follow the elementary, Inc. trademark redistribution terms, removing our trademarks from the OS is simple and straightforward:
Modificare la linea DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION
nel file /etc/lsb-release
per escludere il nostro marchio.
Sostituire le icone in modo che l'icona distributor-logo
presente in /usr/share/icons/elementary/places/
in tutte le dimensioni fornite no appaia nel sistema operativo.
Remove or replace the packages plymouth-theme-elementary
and plymouth-theme-elementary-text
.

We do not authorize our branding (including our name or brand marks) to be used on third-party merchandise without explicit written approval.
