I like how Nextcloud pairs practical design rules with open-source community policies. The main page sets out the basics with clarity, documenting the Inter typeface family, logo clear space, and complete color formulas including HEX, RGB, CMYK, HSL, and Pantone. When you jump over to their trademark page, the tone stays welcoming but clear. I noticed they use cards with blue checkmarks for permitted actions and red X icons for restricted actions across topics like running server installations and domain names. It gives open-source contributors solid legal boundaries without feeling overly defensive.
