Eclipse Foundation

The Eclipse Foundation is a member-supported European AISBL (formerly Delaware nonprofit) that stewards the Eclipse IDE, Jakarta EE, Adoptium (the Temurin JDK distribution), Mosquitto, Vert.x, MicroProfile, the Software Defined Vehicle Working Group, and over four hundred other open-source projects. The brand voice is industrial, enterprise-aware, and ecosystem-first — long-running working groups, vendor-neutral governance, and a strong tradition of Java/JVM tooling. Visually, Eclipse pairs an Eclipse Orange (#F06C02) sun-arc with a near-black wordmark on a clean white canvas — the 2024-refresh expression that anchors current Foundation surfaces.

colorChoiceroles.colors.mark

  • allowed: eclipse-orange, eclipse-amber
  • forbidden: eclipse-black, eclipse-slate, eclipse-gray

The Eclipse Foundation sun-arc element is rendered in Eclipse Orange (#F06C02). The Monochromatic variant (black-on-white or white-on-black) is permitted only as a single-color variant per the Logo Guidelines — using slate or gray for the colored sun-arc is not a documented variant and creates an off-brand expression.

forbiddenTreatmentlogo

  • treatments: recolored, rotated, stretched, skewed, drop-shadow, gradient-fill, sun-arc-detached-from-wordmark, sun-arc-recolored, undocumented-variant

The Eclipse Foundation Logo Guidelines permit only three variants — Colour, Reversed Colour, and Monochromatic. Detaching the sun arc from the wordmark, recoloring the arc to a non-orange hue, rotation, skewing, stretching, and drop-shadow treatments are not documented and conflict with the guidelines' canonical variant set.

contextRestrictiontrademark.use

  • forbiddenContexts: implied-endorsement, product-name-prefix-without-approval, eclipse-ide-mark-substituted-for-foundation-mark, built-on-eclipse-without-eligibility, eclipse-ready-without-eligibility

Eclipse marks are program-specific. The "Built on Eclipse" and "Eclipse Ready" supplementary marks have explicit eligibility requirements (products built on the Eclipse Platform / passing the Eclipse Ready program review respectively). The Eclipse IDE mark is distinct from the Foundation mark; substituting one for the other implies endorsements that do not exist.

contrastRatiotext-primary

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 7
  • standard: WCAG-AAA

Eclipse Black (#111418) on Eclipse White exceeds 17:1 — clears WCAG AAA decisively. Eclipse documentation surfaces — release notes, JEP-like project proposals, working-group charters — benefit from AAA-grade legibility.

accessibilityRequirement*

  • standard: WCAG-AA
  • criterion: 1.4.3

WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) — Level AA. Eclipse Foundation surfaces span developer tooling, enterprise specifications, and public policy documents; AA contrast is the floor.

⚠️ warning (2)

variantSelectionlogo

  • use: reversed-colour
  • when: surface="dark"

Per the Eclipse Foundation Logo Guidelines, the Reversed Colour variant is the permitted expression of the logo on dark backgrounds. Do not invert hue or generate ad-hoc dark-mode renderings; use the official reversed-colour asset.

contrastRatioroles.colors.accent

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 3
  • standard: WCAG-AA-large

Eclipse Orange (#F06C02) on White sits around 3.6:1 — clears AA-large for headlines and the sun-arc element but does NOT clear AA for body text. Reserve the orange for the mark, large display surfaces, and accent use; use Eclipse Black for small-text foreground on light canvas.

💡 recommendation (2)

fontPairingtypography.heading

  • requires: body
  • minSizeRatio: 1.5

Eclipse Foundation surfaces use a humanist sans for heading and body. Maintain at least a 1.5× heading-to-body ratio on long-form project pages, working-group charters, and release-train documentation.

compositionConstraintroles.colors.accent

  • pairsWith: eclipse-black, eclipse-white, eclipse-amber
  • doesNotPairWith: eclipse-gray

Eclipse Orange reads cleanest against the black wordmark on a white canvas, or as a sun-arc above the wordmark on either canvas. Placing it adjacent to the mid-gray neutral flattens the brand's industrial contrast; reserve gray for tertiary UI and let the orange/black pair carry the identity.

Components — same template, themed by Eclipse Foundation

Every block below renders from the resolved palette + font references on this brand. Swap the brand and the same template re-themes — no per-brand component code required.

Eclipse Foundation

A clear hierarchy in Eclipse Foundation's typeface

Tertiary heading — supporting structure

Body copy renders in the brand's prose font on the brand's background. Inline links and highlighted phrases pick up the brand's primary and highlight roles. Code spans like brand.references.palette fall back to the monospace face.

A blockquote uses the brand's accent color as its rule. Useful for pulling tagline copy out of running prose.
Bulleted list
  • Bullet markers inherit the brand's primary color.
  • Item spacing reads as a deliberate vertical rhythm.
  • Nested items still resolve to the same primary.
    • Second-level item using the accent.
    • Third bullet wraps cleanly at narrow widths.

Confirms a completed action — palette role success determines the rule color.

Warning

Calls out something that needs attention but isn't an error — palette role warning.

Error

Surfaces a failure that blocks progress — palette role error. Use sparingly.
