1 min read Impact: 3/10

Key Takeaway

The Document Foundation is adopting a distinct logo, color palette, and typeface to represent itself as an institution separate from the LibreOffice software.

Summary

The Document Foundation (TDF) has unveiled a new visual identity developed with Ura Design to distinguish the organization from its flagship product, LibreOffice. The new identity includes a stylized page logomark, a color palette meeting WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, and the Inter typeface. This change affects the foundation's institutional presence, such as its website and reports, while the LibreOffice brand remains unchanged.

Separating the foundation from the software

  • The new logomark features a stylized page design.
  • The color palette is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 contrast requirements for accessibility.
  • The foundation has selected Inter (SIL Open Font License) as its official typeface.
  • The identity package includes SVG and PNG formats, favicons, and social media avatars.
  • LibreOffice's existing logo, name, and visual identity will not change.

Why it matters

The move clarifies the distinction between the software project and the institutional body responsible for ODF standards and digital sovereignty advocacy.
