Nobody blames you Bernhard =) , especially not for events which occurred while you were away. I'm just venting at OOo's lack of foresight, especially regarding their brand which a number of Art members on this list have repeatedly criticised for the negative impression it creates for the product, especially the shadow it casts on us as an active project whose contributions don't get used. > We do need a new Art / Visual Design project - in a position that can > work not only on marketing material, but on core graphical elements too. I know this got swept under the rug amidst a flurry of "trademark" technicalities, but I'd just like to know once and for all; Is there any point on working on an OOo logo, is there any talk of an update being considered anywhere on the horizon? version 4 even? I'm fast losing faith that OOo is actually OpenSource at all, given that most "official" design work is created by Sun and not by the community. ... Mateusz + all, I'll dig up that vector of the birds and make it available again in a post soon. I'll leave it up to you all to discuss whether it can be used (as a design motif, not as a logo) at all, given it isn't "official" OOo. -Nik Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
