Branding Guidelines

How to use the OPAL name, logo, and colours when you write about or reference OPAL.

The short version

If you are reviewing, teaching, reporting on, or streaming OPAL, you already have permission — go ahead. You do not need our approval, and you may monetize it. The rules below matter when you deliberately use our logo or type treatment in your own promotional material.

Using the OPAL name

  • “OPAL” is always written in all capital letters. Not “Opal”, not “opal”.
  • Refer to the product as OPAL or the OPAL Launcher. Its descriptive name is the O3DE Project Launcher.
  • Do not use OPAL, or anything confusingly similar, as the name of your own product, service, app, or company.
  • Do not incorporate OPAL into your own logo, wordmark, domain name, or social handle in a way that suggests it is ours or that we back it.

Accurate, factual references are always fine — “built with OPAL”, “OPAL tutorial”, “a review of OPAL”.

Approved logo forms

The OPAL logo may be used in exactly three approved forms:

FormUse it when
Logo aloneThe mark on its own, where OPAL is already named nearby
Logo and type pairingThe default lockup — mark plus wordmark, in the supplied proportions
Type aloneThe standalone OPAL type treatment, where the mark would be too small to read

Use the supplied artwork as-is. Do not rebuild, retrace, or approximate it.

What you may not do with brand assets

Per section 7(c) of the EULA, OPAL Brand Assets may not be:

  • modified, distorted, stretched, rotated, or otherwise altered;
  • recoloured, including tinting, gradients, or duotone treatments;
  • animated, or given effects such as shadows, glows, or bevels;
  • combined or locked up with another logo to form a new mark;
  • used as the primary source identifier for your own product or service, without our written approval.

You also may not remove or obscure copyright, trademark, or attribution notices, and you may not state or imply that Genome Studios sponsors, endorses, certifies, or is affiliated with you or your work unless we’ve agreed to it in writing.

Colour palette

These are the colours OPAL uses today. Match these values when you need OPAL’s colours in a layout.

ColourHexRole
Royal blue#2533B8Primary
Lime#D3F00AHighlight accent
Periwinkle#8E93D6Secondary accent
Deep indigo#19073FDark base surface
Near-black navy#0F0C31Deepest surface
Cool near-white#F4F5FBLight base surface

Do not recolour the logo into these — or any other — colours. The palette is for surrounding layout, not for restyling the mark.

Screenshots, video, and streams

You may capture, publish, and monetize screenshots and recordings of OPAL’s interface. No approval needed, and no special treatment required — screenshots of the software as it actually looks are not restricted by the logo rules above.

Two asks, both practical rather than legal: show a current version where you can, and if you’re demonstrating something that has since changed, say which version you captured.

OPAL and O3DE are different things

OPAL is an independent, third-party launcher for O3DE. It is not an official O3DE product, and it is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Open 3D Foundation, the Linux Foundation, or the O3DE project. Please don’t describe it as official, bundled, or endorsed.

Open 3D Engine, O3DE, and related names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners, and nothing here grants any right to use them.

Requesting assets or approval

For the asset pack, a co-branding or partnership arrangement, or written approval for a use the rules above don’t cover — get in touch.
