Hi all, I hope 2016 started great for all of you! To me, one topic for this new year might be the question whether logo refinements would be beneficial for LibreOffice. That calls for your input :-)
Historically, today's logo was prepared for the initial release of LibO. To me, it worked quite well – but it also required compromises (e.g. visual details vs. time constraints, embedded TDF subline for marketing reasons). One of my early blog posts at [1] provides some background info. Or, for a better overview, please browse the first pages of “LibreOffice – The History...” at [2]. Today “LibreOffice” is a quite established brand – and it evolved technically (e.g. LibreOffice Viewer for Android). So my aims for an improved logo were: * Achieve modern style (ideally, be timeless) * Keep consistency (to established logo/brand) * Clean-up visual structure (and prepare for various uses-cases) Overview of the ideation (incl. variants, details and usage examples): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/2/25/LibreOffice_LogoImprove ments2016_Ideation.png The page presenting selected graphics (incl. source SVG & references): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:ChristophNoack/LogoImprovement s2016 What are your initial thoughts, pros, cons, or ideas? I would really appreciate your feedback - and your questions. And, if needed, I'll set up a dedicated whiteboard for that topic ... Thanks!
