Hi Christoph, all.
just a quick comment: I really like the design - but the metaphor for
templates is not convincing and does not work in small sizes. I would again
like to bring in the idea of inverting the icon, which is as close to the
mental model of a template (german: Schablone, Schema) as my mind brings me
atm.
I tried to do a quick draft of what you suggested (it's quite quick and
very dirty if you would have a look at the source), inverting the
interior area of the template icons, but I kept the rip-off metaphor too:

For reference the link to Christoph's icons:

We don't have much time left to create the icons, if they should be
included in the final release of LibO 3.3.0, so we should define quite
fast where to go.
I think both proposals have their advantages - the inverted icons look
quite dark, but are easier to differ from the document icons.
I don't know if they really follow the general visual language of the
other icons...
What do you think?
Best regards
Bernhard

If anybody else would try his/her skills on the Master Doc (just put the
symbols of four Writer icons or the full icons together on the main
application icon), this would already help a lot!
