Hi! I see some issues with the type of the preliminary logo. The combination of the top of the 2nd f and the dot of the i is a little unfortunate. The b and r might work for body text, but not here. Setting Libre in bold only emphasizes the unfortunate proportion of the 2 words (close to, but not quite the same width).
I don’t get the "The Document Foundation" tag-line. Usually you put something there that further describes the thing in question. Would have to be "By the Document Foundation", then, but that’s not hot, either. http://thorwil.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/libreoffice_logo-type_set_01.png The current logo on top, followed by the name set in the same type (Vegur), without bold. My drafts below the line. I just had to play with the ffi ligature, but the connected-dot variant requires a thinning of the stroke that would be the wrong style if applied elsewhere. Of course I thought a bit about the desired characteristics of the type, what it should express, ideally. LibreOffice is a very sophisticated piece of software and project. Suitable for use in business. There has to be a sense of reliability, precision, performance. It’s an open project, welcoming contributors, so I looked for wide and round shapes. The design should be contemporary (to not say modern), but not trendy (as in short-lived).
