Brand assets | Ubuntu Brand Guidelines
This section contains all the details of how to use the features that make our brand distinctive.
A vibrant palette ›
Colour makes a brand instantly recognisable. We like to think our colour palette is simple, effective and striking.

Photography ›
Photography is a good way to help us contextualise and humanise content. Our style is free and natural, focused and precise.
Illustration ›
Our charts, diagrams and graphic styling carry the Ubuntu look further, making full use of the dot patterns and colour palette.
