The Fedora site is a good example of what you should do.

Your 'brand' should have proper guidelines so everyone sings from the
same hymn sheet.

All the fonts should be known and freely available, though regardless of
that it is probably best to have the design completely vectorised with
any fonts used converted to 'lines' or 'outlines' so there are no
problems in reproduction.

Last thing you want is people making it up themselves as they go.

Sorry - I get a bit anal about this as we work in the promotional
merchandise industry and it is a continual nightmare with people not
having their branding sorted properly  :-)
