It is very important to have very well defined that visual representation over different backgrounds and available sources in order to let people improve it and propagate it along each CentOS visual manifestation (Websites, Promotion, Distribution), in the "correct way". The "correct way" of propagating it needs to be described publicly somewhere (maybe in our wiki). I think that CentOS needs a "Corporate Visual Identity Manual". Some sort of guide that let people have a reference for doing the needed work in a organized manner visually. Also define what visual structure we are following. How it is built and how it could be propagated. For example, in the Distribution area, Fedora project had do it very well in the following wiki page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ThemingOverview I could organize what I have somewhere on our wiki for others to check and improve, if you are interested on it.
