I think we should definitely go for something abstract, as you sugested. The LibO/TDF logo is the (mostly blank) page, and this conveys possibility: the page is a neutral space to project specific ideas onto. Abstract artwork would allow us to show something more tangible than a blank sheet, but at the same time it would involve a deal of projection. Of course, my description of abstract artwork here is pretty abstract in itself; more specifically, I'd suggest using light colors (for subtleness, using all application colors if tastefully possible) and something to do with the processes associated with documents and paper: typography, printing, layout/formatting, binding, etc. Thanks for your efforts, Nik! I really look forward to seeing this progress (and, time permitting, playing a small part).
