Re: [art] Ideas for a new OOo logo to be presented at Orvieto?
Hi, Bernhard Dippold wrote: Hi all, Graham Lauder raised this idea in the thread about the OOoCon templates. To raise awareness about this topic I paste the relevant part of his posting and John McCreesh's reply to this new thread: On Mon, October 5, 2009 20:50, Graham Lauder wrote: [snip] How about this for an Idea. We, the Art Project, produce a whole pile of alternative OOo Logos, then the speakers can choose the ones they individually like for their presentations. Who knows the people at Conf might see one really cool one and say: We should have that as our Logo. John McCreesh replied: I'd love to see a display at OOoCon with proposals for a new OOo logo... but I think we may have left it a little late for Orvieto? As far as OOoCon 2009 is concerned, the Conference team have already designed their logo (as is their 'right' as organisers), and Bernard has incorporated it into an excellent template. Encouraging people to use a single template helps the OOoCon branding. Conf is the place for breaking new ideas after all, let's extend that to the artwork. Agreed. It would be great to launch a LOOok for a LOOogo there! John -- John McCreesh - Marketing Project Lead - OpenOffice.org Come to OOoCon in November - http://www.ooocon.org Even if there is no guarantee to replace the present logo with one of the newly created logos, this would show that we are moving forward. And there is no better opportunity than the OOoCon to convince stakeholders of the more conservative logo of the possibilities of an update in marketing, visual identity, user reception and community feeling. I could imagine that a major sponsor of OpenOffice.org will take the chance within the next months also to contribute to this topic. I'm not sure if this will be in time for the Conference, but I'm sure that a discussion during OOoCon will be useful and constructive. So I'm looking forward for many contributions regarding this topic, but I would also like to ask for a differentiation for the various aspects: the logo itself, the splash screen, the Application Icons, other branding elements etc. I see this at least as a two step process: 1. Collect input and ideas as a basis for developing some design objectives. 2. Collect design proposals based on these objectives. Having an iterative process for a new OOo logo in place would ensure that we will not exclude contributors which get out of the race at early stage. just my 2c, Martin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: art-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: art-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
Re: [art] ODF icon design
Hi Bernhard, Bernhard Dippold wrote: Hi Jens, Nik, all thanks for joining this task and for uploading your drafts. I'd like to comment on both of your designs and add a few thoughts not mentioned before (at least not here on this list): Jens: Your app icons look great, but I don't think we should change them in such a radical way with a minor release. If people don't recognize their applications and files, they might become upset... I find them interesting as well. On some colors the seagulls could have some more contrast... Representing the different file formats with other symbols might be a good idea (we should involve UX in that question), even if they are quite abstracted. I think the document icons should looks somehow like document, the shape you choose seem also too abstract for me. But for the present question there is one point to mention: ODF is not eye-catching at all - in fact, you have to search a bit to find the letters (this refers to both of your uploaded icons). Maybe this is the idea behind this, one day the users may associate that shape with ODF, but I have to admit that I'm a bit septic in this aspect ;-) You did send me a more classic approach offlist - containing the gulls and a gradient in the upper area, lines for writer in the middle and a yellow area with ODF at the bottom. It's quite similar to Nik's draft. Nik, your design is great too - works in small sizes as well as in larger scales, eye-catching by the colors and the gull as separator between application color and content symbols. But looking at your design I notice something I didn't mention before: The ODF icons should be used by as many applications as possible (the present ones by abandonment of any app specific symbols). I'd rather would like to have an area dedicated to such a symbol or graphical element. The symbol should not be more prominent than the ODF area, but give additional information on the application. Jens changed the colors of the OASIS logo (background yellow, text violet), this seems to me to be more eye-catching than the violet logo with white text. Especially in very small size (16x16) when the text is not readable at all, the yellow area with violet border might be a good representation. Even if I'm not able to design as high quality icons as you both, I uploaded what I think might be a basis of icons that could be used by other applications too: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:BeDipp#personal_sandbox but these still contain the seagulls ?! my understanding from what you've said is: ODF document icons should have no seagulls, the app icons should have them. And: do we really need to go with the OASIS yellow or violet ? On that yellow I don't like either black or white letters, and the violet color doesn't seem to work with black Letters.
