hpe-branding/assets — vendored HPE assets

Copies of the icon set, brand marks, and documentation graphics from github.com/grommet/hpe-design-system, taken at commit 567c4d5 (2026-07-16) on 2026-07-30. Here so the marks, icons, and reference images are available without a build step, an npm install, or loading a JavaScript site.

Folder	Contents	Size
icons/	452 SVG icons, the full HPE set	1.9 MB
brand/	5 HPE and Aruba word-marks	34 KB
site-images/	282 documentation graphics, mirrored from the docs site	32 MB

License and trademark

The code and icons are Apache-2.0, "Copyright 2025 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP." The license text is in icons/LICENSE.

The license is not the whole story for the brand marks. An open-source copyright license does not grant trademark rights. The HPE logo and the Element are HPE trademarks, and their use is governed by the HPE Terms of Use with the authoritative files and usage rules on Brand Central.

Treat brand/ as a convenience copy for reading and internal reference. For anything that ships or goes to a customer, pull the current file from Brand Central. A vendored logo goes stale silently, and the GreenLake rebrand noted in ../02-brand-foundations.md is exactly the kind of event that would make this copy wrong.

brand/

File	What it is
HPE_logo_full-clr_pos_rgb.svg	HPE word-mark, positive (light backgrounds)
HPE_logo_full-clr_rev_rgb.svg	HPE word-mark, reversed (dark backgrounds)
hpe-logo.svg	Site header variant of the word-mark
hpe-logo-invert.svg	Site header variant, inverted
aruba-logo.svg	HPE Aruba Networking word-mark

The Element (the green rectangle symbol) is not here. It ships as part of the icon set: icons/element.svg. It is the only icon in the set with a hardcoded color, #01A982, because the brand green is not allowed to inherit. It is also one of the few icons that is not square, at 48x24.

Placement rules for the Element and the logos are in ../02-brand-foundations.md.

icons/

452 SVGs, flat directory, one file per icon, named semantically.

Properties worth knowing before using them:

• 448 of 452 are 24x24. The exceptions are element.svg (48x24), catalog.svg and chat.svg (24x25), and chat-conversation.svg (24x26). If you are laying out an icon grid, those four will not align.
• 451 of 452 use fill="currentColor", so they take the color of their container with no edit. element.svg is the one exception.
• No <style> blocks, no external references, no embedded rasters. Safe to inline.

Sizing, color tokens, and accessibility rules (aria-label, aria-hidden on decorative icons) are in ../02-brand-foundations.md.

For React, prefer the published package @hpe-design/icons-grommet over these raw files. It carries the accessibility props and theme integration. These SVGs are for non-React use, for design work, and for reading.

site-images/

A mirror of apps/docs/public/ from the docs repo: every graphic the documentation site renders. 282 files. These are the diagrams, do/don't comparisons, and screenshots that the MDX prose refers to, so they are the visual half of the guidance the docs in this folder summarize.

Folder	Files	What it covers
templateImages/	82	The 27 template patterns: navigation, forms, wizards, dashboards, notifications
foundationImages/	32	Color, typography, spacing, scale. Includes accessibilityImages/ with the four WCAG principle graphics
extendImages/	21	Extending the system beyond stock components
highlightImages/	20	Home page and section highlights
componentImages/	11	Component illustrations. Includes PageBackground.svg at 2.3 MB
logos/	10	Third-party partner logos (Apache, Dataiku, Dremio, H2O, SingleStore, StreamSets and others), not HPE marks
images/	6	Page backgrounds, light and dark
whatis/	5	Explainer graphics
creativetoolkitimages/	3	Creative toolkit
learnImages/	2 + 2 subfolders	Tutorial screenshots for the grid and box-model walkthroughs
static/	2 + 2 subfolders	Site chrome, favicon, accessibility video cover and caption files
root	50	Component previews, 404 art, token version comparisons (hpe-design-tokens-v0.png / -v1.png), the HPE word-marks

Notes on what is in here:

• About 14 MB of the 32 MB is Unsplash stock photography in learnImages/grid-fundamentals-part-1/. Four JPGs between 2.5 and 4.9 MB used as filler content in a Grommet grid tutorial. They carry no HPE guidance. If repo size ever becomes a problem, delete that folder first and you reclaim nearly half the total at zero cost.
• logos/ holds partner logos, not HPE brand marks. Do not confuse it with brand/. Those third-party marks belong to their owners and are not covered by the Apache-2.0 license on this repo.
• Five files are not images: static/favicon.ico, two WebVTT caption tracks for the accessibility video, an .avif, and a .jp2.
• The HPE word-marks appear both at the root here and in brand/. brand/ is the curated copy; use that one.

hpe-design-tokens-v0.png and hpe-design-tokens-v1.png are worth a look on their own. They are the side-by-side dashboard comparison showing what a theme major version actually changes, which makes the versioning argument in ../03-design-tokens.md concrete.

Open questions

• Does @hpe-design/icons-grommet cover all 452, or is the React package a subset?
• The icon docs mention per-icon metadata for discovery. That metadata is not in these raw SVGs. Where does it live, and is it published?
• Are the four off-grid icons a deliberate optical adjustment or a source bug worth reporting upstream?
