Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) community logo guidelines

At Red Hat, DEI communities are associate-led groups that help their community members and allies to build stronger internal and external networks through social, educational, and outreach activities.

DEI communities use logos based on our initiative logos with additional colors to represent their vibrant people and cultures. They are only provided on recommendation of the Brand and Creative team, and should always be used with the Red Hat® logo.

Clear space is the area around the logo that should not have text, distracting graphics, or other logos. This allows the logo to be legible and stand out. The clear space for DEI community logos is at least the height of the letter "e" in the word "Red."

DEI community logos don't have the Red Hat logo incorporated into their design, so it should always be included nearby. This makes it clear to those outside of the company that the community is associated with Red Hat. Make sure the logos are a comfortable distance from each other; double the height of the "e" is a good place to start.

DEI community logos are produced in 2 full color versions: standard and reverse. They're also produced in one-color versions, but you should use the full color versions unless there's a production constraint requiring only one color.
