Brand Guidelines
Purpose
The Open Secure AI Alliance is a community of organizations building and sharing an open defensive stack of AI models, tools, and techniques to strengthen cyber defense and secure AI agents. Its core purpose is to provide defenders with capabilities they can inspect, adapt, trust, and control, while fostering collective defense and shared learning from AI incidents.
Brand Attributes
- Neutral Governance: By operating under the Linux Foundation, the alliance provides a vendor-neutral home to contribute and build shared tools, models, and techniques without control by any single company
- Collective Security: The alliance facilitates testing systems together, sharing evidence, and converting those discoveries into robust, ecosystem-wide protections
- Systemic Resilience: Defenses are designed to be portable, ensuring they remain effective even as underlying models, vendors, and infrastructure change
- Evidence-Based Learning: Through the Shared AI Findings Exchange (SAFE), the alliance confidentially analyzes AI incidents and near misses to turn recurring failures into actionable, shared controls that reduce systemic risk
Logo
Our logo is composed of two core elements: the symbol and the logotype. They combine in a fixed relationship to form our primary logo. This is the most complete and recognizable expression of our identity, and should be used as an introduction to the brand.
When in doubt, default to this primary logo.
Logo Scaling
The OSAIA logo lockups should never appear smaller than 32 pixels in height. This minimum size preserves legibility and ensures the integrity of the lockup. When space is limited, use just the symbol instead, which is designed for clear recognition at smaller scales.
Clearspace
Our logo needs breathing room to maintain its impact and clarity. Maintain a minimum distance defined by continuing the grid an additional layer. Apply this equal spacing around all sides to preserve integrity across every application and ensure the logo never feels crowded. This applies to the symbol as well as logo lockups.
Partnership Lockups
For simple partnership lockups, we pair our logo with a partner’s logomark, symbol, or icon. Use our logo’s height as the foundation for all measurements, separating elements with a vertical bar that’s 1.5x the symbol’s height. Create breathing room by maintaining the minimum clearspace between each element to ensure both brands feel equally present and respected.
Watchouts
To preserve the integrity and effectiveness of our brand, it’s crucial to use the our logo consistently and as intended. The following examples illustrate common misuses to avoid.
Symbol
Our symbol is made of squares and circles that visualize structure, stable governance, and shared principles.
The symbol may be used independently as a shorthand for the brand in contexts where including a full lockup is not practical, such as social media avatars, app icons, or small-scale applications. It may also appear on select swag items where a more graphic, standalone mark creates greater impact.
Primary Palette
Our visual foundation rests on black and white. Together, they create a high-contrast visual language that’s both striking and functional, ensuring optimal readability and a clean, professional aesthetic. This restrained palette allows our logo to stand out with greater impact.

Typography
Our typographic system pairs Geist and Geist Mono. Geist carries everything people read — web copy, product UI, decks, email — with a clean, engineered feel that matches how we build. Geist Mono takes over wherever precision matters: RFCs, findings, configuration, TLP-style labels, anything meant to be read as ground truth rather than persuasion. Both are open source.
Our typographic scale is derived from doubling the root numbers 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128, generating a comprehensive scale for nuanced sizing.
Iconography
Google Material Symbols are used as the brand’s core iconography system. Their simple, contemporary forms provide a clear and consistent visual language across digital and print applications. Icons should be used consistently in style, weight and scale to complement the brand without overpowering other visual element
