Hello Marketing Team, Some time ago, LCP shared an amazing, vibrant palette of colors for openSUSE and their use across our distributions. I absolutely love it. Many thanks, Jay! https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/7b1f676ea5a7 https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/824888c7a33a
You may have already seen the palette in use on kudos.opensuse.org, the vibrant Geeko Green on a Pump Purple background. It was also recently showcased by https://github.com/openSUSE/susedialog and its openSUSE theme on factory@. At the moment, our landing page, get-o-o, software-o-o, and other sites feel a bit out of sync. As Simon pointed out, the landing page is not strictly following the current guidelines, even though we all clearly recognize the white logo ;-) I think it is time to revisit the guidelines. The branding guidelines themselves are still marked as Alpha and have not been updated in quite some time: https://github.com/openSUSE/branding-guidelines https://opensuse.github.io/branding-guidelines/ I had a chance to briefly discuss this last week at SUSECON with Zvezdana, who originally worked on the branding guidelines, the Alex logo, and many of our vibrant stickers :-) She really liked the color palette, the direction, especially the vibrant green, and the idea of giving the guidelines a fresh, more engaging form. Separately, I have an upcoming meeting with a student of art I was introduced to through our Mobile Hackday events in Prague. This brings in a fresh and creative perspective on how we could present the guidelines. I also raised this at today’s board meeting. There were no objections, but we did not have enough members present to reach a quorum. My idea is to move away from a static document and turn the guidelines into something more alive. A small interactive microsite, almost like a playful comic, where Geeko guides you through the project and how we use the branding, including where to find and contribute assets. Something you can scroll through like a colorful kitchen paper roll, unfolding step by step. Light, a bit funny, but still practical. At the same time, it should remain useful. Clear navigation, quick links, and easy access to assets, so people can jump straight to what they need without scrolling through everything. The story layer would introduce the palette, logo usage, fonts, stickers, wallpapers, t-shirts, and visuals progressively as you scroll, while the structure underneath keeps it functional and easy to navigate. I am currently discussing this direction with Tamar G. and exploring how we could shape it further. She has already been looking into our Geeko characters in action. The goal is simple: keep it vibrant, recognizable, and distinctly ours, not generic. I would also keep the initial scope rather small so it can be done within six months, ideally in time for the openSUSE Asia Summit 2026. I plan to organize a small session at oSC2026 as a continuation of our past branding workshops, so it would be great to align with that. Thoughts? Best regards, Luboš Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager
