Assets & Standards
Introduction

Thank you for downloading Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Style Guide for topologies and diagrams.
You can use this guide to create a unified visual language for topology diagrams using Oracle’s Cloud products and
services. The symbols, graphics, and connecting lines on the following pages will help you accurately communicate
complex offerings, systems, ideas into an Oracle-branded diagram. Please read the following quick guide to get
started.
Note: Additional direction is shown in pink using the Courier New Font. DO NOT use pink or Courier New in
your diagrams.

This set is available in the following formats:

• EPS (for print)
• SVG
• PNG
• PPT

Redwood Color Palette and Typography

• Use the Redwood Theme Colors applied to this PowerPoint deck. Custom Colors and
Recent Colors can change location within the PowerPoint palette. Refer to the RGB
and Hex values below to ensure correct color usage in your OCI diagrams across
applications.
• Create your own new color palette if you are building diagrams in other graphics
applications. Use the standard Oracle Redwood Colors defined here.
• Use Oracle’s standard font; Oracle Sans for all diagram text. If Oracle Sans is not
available, use Arial, Calibri or equivalent sans serif font instead.

Logical
A logical architecture diagram shows how a solution works by depicting logical
components or capabilities. It can provide a high-level and more easily
understood abstraction of the solution. A logical architecture diagram might
group technical complexity into one “box” named with a single capability - not
a product nor a technology. User interactions are often shown on this level.

• Use connector lines to show relationships between

icons and grouping boxes.
Sample Dataflow Sample User Interaction
Solid-line Dashed-line
• Reuse these sample connectors or, generate
equivalently formatted connectors.
• Use Bark color for all connector lines.
• Use 1pt line weight (or your app’s equivalent) for all
connector lines.
• Use Open Arrowhead style (or your app’s equivalent)
to indicate directional flow.
• Use Solid-line connectors for Dataflow.
• Use Dashed-line connectors (or your app’s equivalent)
for User Interaction.
• Maintain consistent width and height of the connector
pegs for visual clarity.
• Align and center connector lines by each connector
joint.
• Maintain a small gap between icons
and connectors for visual clarity.

Physical
A physical architecture diagram describes a solution that uses physical or
virtualized components or products. A physical diagram provides a low-level
abstraction of the solution to aid a technical audience in easily understanding
components and information flow. A physical architecture diagram does not
usually abstract technical components into a single “box”. These diagrams are
often used to constrain and drive a later implementation.
