In its simplest form, The Open Group brand is represented by the promises we make and keep with our members, partners, sponsors, etc. Brand Identity is the proprietary visual, emotional, and cultural image that surrounds The Open Group and its standards, certifcations, products, brands, forums, events, etc. as well as each of us as representatives of The Open Group. It defnes and represents who we are and how we act with respect to ourselves, our communities, and to the world as a whole. It is our best “sales pitch” and increases perceived value and reputation.
