Theme and branding

The theme for Drupal.org is called Bluecheese. You will notice that it is not available for download and use outside of Drupal.org. Visual identity brand is very important and to see from various past forum requests, many people believe that the current theme is striking. In order to preserve Drupal.org's 'brand' identity, Bluecheese will not be made available outside of the Drupal.org implementers team.

The Drupal wordmark was custom designed by Mark Boulton Design.
