The circle R is there because Apache OpenOffice is a registered trademark in the US and other jurisdictions.Being registered and having “®” in the logo are two separate things. There is no legal requirement or necessity to include “®” in the logo of a registered trademark and, as far as I see, most companies that operate registered trademarks do not include the aforementioned sign in their logos.2023-08-20 00:03, Dave Fisher rašė:Having Apache present shows where the project is.

The logo is there for clear and instant /product/ identification. The product is OpenOffice, not Apache.
The product *is* Apache OpenOffice.

Personally, I think we have much more important things to do than discussing about a logo change...
This project has *very* limited resources. Regards, Matthias

The only thing I’d change is remove the “Apache” and “®” from it, as both these elements crowd the logo, weakening the focus, and ultimately break the simplicity and modernity of the /initial/ logo (it was a stylistic regression to insert them).

I don't not know if I contact the right place. I wish that it be implemented in the next minor version of AOO if possible, the 4.1.15. What do you think ?Cordially, Manjiro5 (C.
