OSGi Alliance Logo Usage Policy
Version 1.0
Who May Use the OSGi Logo
The OSGi logo is a trademark, and can only be used by authorized licensees, in accordance with the usage guidelines.
All members of the OSGi Alliance are granted a license to display the OSGi Logo on their own websites to indicate their membership in the OSGi Alliance. This license grant is not an endorsement of your organization, its activities, or its individuals, and no such endorsement should be implied, construed or stated.
All others seeking to use the OSGi Logo must seek written permission from the OSGi Alliance - obtain approval from either the OSGi Liaison Executive Committee or the OSGi Board of Directors - then obtain the logo itself from the OSGi Alliance Association Management Firm.
How to use the OSGi Logo
To ensure proper usage of the OSGi Corporate logo, we have provided guidelines, descriptions and illustrations of the trademarked OSGi logo. All materials designed for advertising, promotion, direct mail or other purposes using the OSGi Corporate Logo, must comply with these guidelines.
Please make note that your adherence to these guidelines is a requirement of use of the OSGi Corporate logo.
There are no other authorized OSGi Corporate logos. This Corporate logo and its variations illustrated in this guideline are the only logos currently approved for use by OSGi Members by the OSGi Alliance.
The OSGi Corporate logo is not to be used as a compliance seal.
Enlargements and reductions should only be made from an official master logo sheet or computer file. Copies of the master logos are available through the OSGi Alliance Association Management Firm. Never obscure, cut off or place any design over the logo. The logo should not be altered proportionally in any way. It must not be used in an outline form.
Presentation and Press Material Place the Corporate logo prominently, and keep it separate from the other type and symbols. In headlines or text, typeset the OSGi name - do not use the logo artwork.
Exhibits/Promotional Items On text panels and banners, typeset the name in a style and size compatible with other copy.
Corporate Logo Elements
The OSGi Corporate logo consists of three elements: the word "OSGi", the word "Alliance" and artwork. These elements have been carefully designed to fit together in a balanced form and the relationships should not be altered. The logo must always be reproduced in a manner that will ensure maximum clarity and provide sufficient background on which it appears. When the logo is reproduced in very large sizes for use in displays, signs, etc., special care must be taken that when enlarging that the integrity of the design is not lost.
Minimum Margin of Clearance
The margin of clearance surrounding the logo is defined as "x" which is equal to 50% of the logo size. Note: The registration mark ("™") is proportionally fixed to fit the logo. Do not pair with any type or join or concatenate it with another logo or symbol. In a document, i.e. an approved press release, place the OSGi Corporate logo at a distance of at least a half of the page width (or width of the screen, banner, etc.) from your own corporate logo, and balance it visually with other elements.
With layouts where the OSGi Corporate logo appears with groups of other logos, i.e., other alliances or associations, a clear zone of at least 100% of the logo size should surround the OSGi logo.
Never translate the logo into other languages.
Black and White and Minimum Size
The black-and-white application of the logo is acceptable. The logo can also be reversed out in white, as long as the trademark ("™") is legible when reducing the logo to the minimum size.
The minimum reproduction size should be at least 1.5" in width.
Correct Color Reproduction
There are three versions of the logo - a two-color version against a light background, a two-color version against a dark background, and a one-color version. The OSGi Alliance Association Management Firm can provide electronic and/or hard copy versions of each.
