Article 25 | Guidelines for Use of OpenBharat.net & ISAIL.IN Branding and Content

(1) Official Logomarks and Visual Assets:

• The official logomarks of OpenBharat.net and the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law (ISAIL) must be reproduced strictly in their authorized forms, without alteration, distortion, recoloring, or unapproved typographic substitutions.

• Both logomarks may be rendered independently or in co-branded alignment in accordance with official style kits issued by the Secretariat.

• A minimum protective clear space equal to the full height of the respective mark's primary emblem must be maintained across all perimeters.

• To preserve visual fidelity and scan legibility, logomarks shall not be rendered smaller than 25 mm in horizontal width for print publications or 100 pixels in width for digital interfaces and code repositories.

• Display of the logomarks shall not be construed as conferring commercial endorsement, software certification, safety compliance certification, or formal legal partnership without prior written authorization from the OBGC or the Secretariat.

(2) Prescribed Color Palette:

• OpenBharat.net Color Profile: The primary brand colors for OpenBharat.net assets, working group repositories, and associated technical artifacts are:

  • OpenBharat Deep Blue: #063c8d

  • OpenBharat Saffron Gold: #ffbf00

• ISAIL Institutional Profile: The formal color palette for parent society documentation, interlocutory instruments, and legal governance notices remains:

  • ISAIL Deep Crimson: #690101

  • ISAIL Dark Burgundy: #5d1111

  • Sovereign Black: #060606

• Supporting neutral tones and approved secondary accents may be deployed for UI components, data visualization, or syntax formatting, provided they do not overpower the dominant primary palettes.

(3) Placement, Visual Hierarchy, and Transitory Marks:

• On official OpenBharat.net deliverables, repository README files, model release manifests, and whitepapers, the OpenBharat.net mark shall take lead placement, accompanied by institutional attribution denoting custodianship by ISAIL.

• Where legacy deliverables referencing AiStandard.io are cited, archived, or circulated during the transitional period ending July 1, 2028, such marks shall be displayed alongside the OpenBharat.net emblem with appropriate succession notes.

• In joint releases or collaborative industry deployments, OpenBharat.net and ISAIL logomarks must maintain equal or greater visual prominence relative to participating corporate partner marks.

(4) Content Citation and Attributive Integrity:

• Direct textual excerpts from official standards specifications, benchmark criteria, or policy instruments must be reproduced verbatim with canonical attribution citing the OPENBHARAT identifier and ISAIL institutional custodianship.

• Paraphrasing, analytical synthesis, or technical commentary is permitted in commercial documentation, academic research, and developer guides, provided it does not distort the substantive meaning, security baselines, or safety ratings of the underlying deliverable.

(5) Digital Media, Developer Repositories, and Community Handles:

• Public social media profiles, open-source organization pages, Git repositories, and developer hub avatars utilizing OpenBharat.net or ISAIL imagery must strictly adhere to official clear-space and resolution parameters.

• Official communiqués, technical announcements, sprint releases, and community engagements should include canonical identifiers, including #OpenBharat, #OpenBharatNet, #ISAIL, and #BharatPacificAI.

(6) Co-Branding Protocols:

• In collaborative testbeds, enterprise pilots, or hackathons, third-party corporate marks must maintain clean visual separation from OpenBharat.net and ISAIL emblems via an approved divider rule or partnership lockup.

• All public-facing co-branded marketing materials, press releases, or joint conference banners must receive formal administrative sign-off from the OBGC or the Secretariat prior to public distribution.

(7) Express Brand Restrictions:

• OpenBharat.net and ISAIL marks and brand collateral must never be deployed in connection with unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, or discriminatory practices, nor utilized to validate unverified algorithmic claims or commercial hype.

• Brand marks must not be associated with partisan political campaigns, electoral endorsements, or legislative lobbying outside authorized non-partisan technical advisories.

(8) Clearance and Review Timelines:

• Draft materials involving novel co-branding arrangements, external commercial releases, or bespoke partner lockups must be submitted to the Secretariat at least seven (7) business days prior to targeted publication.

• The OBGC and the Secretariat reserve the discretionary prerogative to require design corrections, mandate visual repositioning, or deny usage permissions to preserve institutional reputation.

(9) Termination of Brand Usage Privileges:

• Upon the suspension, voluntary withdrawal, or formal termination of an entity's Alliance Membership, all rights to display OpenBharat.net or ISAIL branding, membership badges, and partner lockups shall terminate immediately.

• Any active digital badges, website embeds, or marketing collateral displaying the marks must be removed within fifteen (15) calendar days following notice of termination. Physical collateral bearing the marks must be retired or destroyed within thirty (30) calendar days.
