Earlier this year, we announced our involvement with [Open Tech Fund's Usability Lab](http://opentech.fund/lab/usability-lab), providing Usability and Design Services to Internet Freedom projects. If you missed the news, head over to the [announcement on our blog.](https://ura.design/2018/03/12/ura-now-part-open-tech-funds-usability-lab)
[Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) has been the first project we supported as part of the Usability Lab. Reproducible Builds represents a set of software development practices that create an independently-verifiable path from source code to the binary code used by computers.
We have been in talks with the Reproducible Builds community since late 2017 where they were looking to have a new logo to represent the project. Going a step further, we met with Holger, a core contributor to the project at this year's FOSDEM. During our conversations we decided to provide a full fledged style guide via the support of OTF's Usability Lab.

With the logo being decided upon, we had a clear path going forward, implementing the visual identity in a live style guide, inspired from the [Tor style guide](https://styleguide.torproject.org) we helped set the foundations for in 2016.
The style guide itself features visuals, assets and components ready to be used in Reproducible Builds projects. Additionally, the style guide is free of any 3rd party trackers (including Google Fonts), external libraries and works also with JavaScript disabled / Tor High Security Mode. We even made sure that the style guide is responsive and should work fine on all resolutions.

The style guide is now migrated to [Debian infrastructure](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-styleguide), but you can view a [live version on GitHub pages](https://uracreative.github.io/reproducible-builds-styleguide/).
In the coming weeks, the official version will live on [https://reproducible-builds.org/style](https://reproducible-builds.org/style)
