Re: [libreoffice-design] Branding for release 7

I wish we stopped featuring numbers in our artwork altogether. It's as if
Google Chrome used different artwork in every single new release.

Uh... AFAIK in Taiwan we're not against 7.  For Chinese the unlucky
number is 4 because the pronunciation of 4 is near "dead", so in
hospitals and hotels even car plate number people tend to avoid any 4 in
them.

Hello everyone,

Also, from my side, even if I know we won't be changing the artwork
before version 7, the sooner we can get rid of the current triangle
artwork, the better.

From the LibreOfficeFR channel, I have received lots of complain about
them. Don't forget the splashscreen loader is the very first image
someone installing/launching LibreOffice for the first will see.

Heiko, I know we spoken in person about this topic at the last FOSDEM,
but I remember during these 6.x series, there was some open contest
about the artwork and unfortunately the one we didn't want to have has
been chosen (the triangle version). This time, better to restrict the
final choice to the community. I have worked in a startup for 5 years
where some communication work was being made and the client always ended
up choosing the solution that shouldn't be used/the least appealing :(

Regards,

Re: [libreoffice-design] Open Badges

2019-12-08 Thread William Gathoye (LibreOffice)
Hello everyone,

Do we have any news on this? I just wanted to know whether some decision
has been made wrt. the design that has/will be chosen?

I love the idea of shield, the proposition from K-J are very neat and
well designed. They are definitely looking modern.

Wrt. the proposition from Andreas about the text and the stars in the
shield or next to it, I think this is a good idea, a bit like were made
grades in the police forces (Gendarmerie in Belgium).

Just a side note though. This applies more to Mike who is in charge of
communication and public relations. A shield is often used as a
pictogram for firewall appliances. In France, for the piracy law called
Hadopi, a minister in charge of that instance made a public speech that
remained into all memories. [1] This is from where the meme "the
OpenOffice firewall" came to life. So that you know, be prepared to
these kind of jokes if we launch this idea of badges looking like shields.

From a marketing point of view, leveraging this comparison with the OO
firewall would be a good idea, at least for the French communication
channels. :) The LibreOfficeFR Twitter account has *at least* a tweet
per week joking about this speech.
