The new gull ring while > being new, retains the familiar circular shape of the current OpenOffice > logo, but at the same time is a new take that pays respect to the orb. All > of these elements are wrapped in a modern black gradient icon than makes > the logo stand out. Furthermore, the new logo actually changes the look of > the word OpenOffice into a more modern non-capitalized "openoffice" word > design (also an inspiration from the Adobe Flex project logo). The latter > serves the function of highlighting Apache as the owner of the project > (whose name is in capital letters), yet the non-capitalized "openoffice" > names takes presence by being written in a larger size font. Overall, the > new logo design is simple, clean, and modern. > > Now that I have given a sense of the new logo, I would like to show you a > reveal video: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC-tOuhTm9Y
I just have one word to say: Wow! The video is really, really cool. Thanks! > > > But there is one last detail, which actually is a testament to the power of > OpenOffice.
