Hi Russell,
sorry for not being able to give a valid advise, but at the moment we're
stuck in trademark issues with the new logo.
While the old logo was to be used after a confirmation request (with
positive reply) on lo...@marketing.ooo, new logo usage should be allowed
after filling a form at the website and following the new trademark
policy for OpenOffice.org.
Unfortunately Oracle legal seems to need even more time in examining the
trademark policy draft, so there is no way to get approval for using
this logo except with a single case request at the trademark owner - Oracle.

Hi Marketing
I am preparing templates "ready for print" with Openoffice.org
logos/artwork like this:
http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/node/4445 for CD Inserts, CD
labels, address labels, all size stickers ect.
Can I get feedback on the best artwork to use for this and/or suggestions.
Based on the information above I can't tell you or anybody else about
how to use our new logo in any artwork.
Hoping for a final decision on the trademark topic we're working on a
more consistent look and feel for OpenOffice.org than before in our
Branding Initiative (mainly on the mailing list brand...@marketing.ooo
and in the wiki).
So even if we would be allowed to use the logo, the surrounding
graphical elements and visual language has not yet been defined. Please
join the Branding Initiative if you want to be part of the effort to
create a consistent visual design that should be used wherever
OpenOffice.org is represented by visual means.
The only safe way to distribute OpenOffice.org graphics and texts
containing the logo is to use the old one, even if this recommendation
is counterproductive to an effective OpenOffice.org marketing.
Florian and myself have requested advise by Oracle legal on how to
proceed in this very unsatisfactory situation, but we've got no reply up
to now...
Best regards
Bernhard
PS: If you would like to distribute your templates from the link above,
please add the gulls to the logo at the right position and in the right
size. Modifying the logo by (re)moving the gulls has not been allowed
with the old logo either.
