Hello, As a discussion point, I recently produced some file mimetype icons using the OpenDocument monogram and the Tango theme.
http://www.catnip.co.uk/opendocument/icons/#tango I hope these are of interest. Regards, Pete. On 06/12/06, Bernhard Dippold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

What we should think of, is, that there are only three blue tones in the Tango scheme, so (if we want to keep a blue tone for Math) Writer should get the dark blue and Math the light blue tone. Our OOo blue is not included in the color scheme (and I don't think that there is a change to get it included ...), but this only means, that it should not be used in the icons - it isn't used in the present icons either. But to show you how it fits to the color scheme, I created a image containing these four colors: http://familie-dippold.de/OpenOffice.org/tango_blue_tones.png Of course it is not necessary to combine OOo Blue with the darker Tango tone, but for marketing materials and artwork the colors are a basis to be worked on, IMHO.
