Great report, Sajolida! I love how SimplySecure handled the
branding/identity issue in Tails as an approach for open source projects.
Recently, I added Tor Browser Brand Assets to our styleguide[0], and I used
"Brand" as a title. I think having TPI and Tor Browser assets under the
"Identity" label makes more sense for the broad ecosystem.

Thanks for sharing!
