I don't know what 'dia' means.
Sorry, I am not a native speaker. leo says 'slide' (I should have known
that ;-)). The old plastic, quadratic film holders with the unique
format, used in diascopes.
My opinion is that we should not worry about them being all the same or all
unique.
Okay.
If the product's default perspective is landscape I did landscape, vice
versa if its default if portrait I did portrait.
Good point!
When we go circle we gain space for the application picture, we also gain
"circle" branding.
Vice versa, when its square we loose circle branding but can gain gull
branding, loosing space though for gull.
Also putting the gull in the circle but not in one of the two places make
it looks wrong when icon is compared to official logo.
If you still have that, would you be so kind to also put it on the page
- as an example to see what you mean here? I am cnfident that you are
right, but a picture says more than words...
When I open documents I see a blank page (preferably with paragraphs).
When I open spreadsheets I see cells.
When I open presentations, I see bullets and a title.
True, and it's definitely individual/different for every viewer, but I
could not recognize it directly. I could recognize the 'slide' in
Kevin's suggestions better; just my thoughts, but maybe worth a try...?
When I open draw, my first experience was clicking rectangle and placing it
down on the canvas.
When I think formulas, I think Sum (Sigma).
When I think database. I think f*** how am I going to represent that?
Well, maybe...
- a big 'Sigma' sign (sum)
- something remembering to formulas, something simple, a^b, e = mc^2,
x/y, a(over)b, sqrt(a), ...
Not easy, true.
That's the important part, think how a (slow) user would think.
Familiarity. Pretty comes second.
Samer, thanks for your designs and thoughts!
Sincerely,
Armin

Hi Samer,
nice stuff! No longer the basic 'app'-like shape, but nice ;-) I like the
round ones, this is a visible change. I miss the gulls less than I would
have imagined before seeing it...
Some thoughts on looking at them:
- The symbols in the objects are well distinguishable. The presentation
one is rounded, the others have sharp edges. Would it be possible to have
sharp/round for all uniquely? Maybe a unique size for all, too?
- For Impress I still would prefer the 'dia' association, a frame with the
classic 'dia' dimensions and an open 'window' in the center, like in the
set from Kevin two above yours.
Just my thoughts (and just suggestions of course)

Hi Everyone, took another stab:
https://cwiki.apache.org/**confluence/display/OOOUSERS/**
AOO4+-+Desktop+Icons<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO4+-+Desktop+Icons>
Upon scaling down, I can tweak line thicknesses to create sharper small
set
icons, I only scaled cheap to get this draft out on the mailing list for
comments.
Here are my thoughts when creating those:
Flatter, sharper, more contrast, less gradients.
People mentions circle is part of the brand, note taken and implemented.
People mentioned too many gradients, I created this icon set back in
December 2012 before we were inspired by the flat idea. Gradients have
been
removed.
Someone mentioned shoot the birds, so I played Duck Hunt with them.
Someone said my icon for Impress was less than, I choose not to act on it
for the time being.
I like the oblique styling on the Sigma, that's what the person building
the shed wants to do.
Jurgen mentioned boarders too dark, I forgot to lighten them, but can in
future iterations.
Rob mentioned templates to be dotted, did it, works. And its still
similar
enough for 3.x users to transition to.
If time is running out, we can do just the main application icon for now.
I'm ok with doing these for 4.1
