Hi Bernhard, I think the large 3D binder spirals are too prominent. They distract me from the document and seem to over-shadow the components of the LibreOffice logo.
The holes are not prominent enough... I am not able to try my hand at anything at the moment but I would recommend you try horizontal binders, similar to the small icon. Perhaps a gradient can give the binders a 3D ring effect. Horizontal binders might give us some freedom to find that happy medium between too big and too small. The " Goldilocks <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_the_Three_Bears>" size. :-) Happy new year everyone!
