while-true-do.io Style Guide
while-true-do.io stands for Free/Libre Open Source contribution. It is coming from the idea, that you should do whatever can be done, as long as it is needed. Adding content to FLOSS / Open Source in one or another way was and will always be the key intention behind while-true-do.io.
The Styling should reflect our intentions, motivation and ideals.
The logo is a stylized turtle. The turtle stands for sustainability, reliability, steadiness and wisdom. The form is defined by the infinity symbol and is reflecting the "while true do = infinite loop" idea.
Having a fixed set of colors will help to identify while-true-do.io, even when it is not written explicitly. The below color definitions should be applied, when possible.
The chosen color palette is directly bound to our main principles and ideals. Variants and tints can be used, when interface design recommends it.
For browser applications (like websites), one should rely on system fonts. The user is already familiar with his system and should not be forced to use another font.
On the other hand, on documents like *.pdfs, written letters or when creating images, one should rely on the below typefaces.
We have chosen a font, which is good looking, well known and easy to read. It is also under a free license and widely used in Open Source environments.
