[...] Name recognition and market share are capital, and capital needs to be invested - an investment targeted to building an ODF brand like a winning proposition from even an OpenOffice.org centric perspective. I'm all with you on that point - branding ODF is good investment for OOo. (OK - I already wrote this several times and should not repeat myself too much...) The new file type icon set developed appears quite good to my eye; the lack, or singularity, of the color theme seems to me a good thing. Think Adobe here for their simple red themed PDF format. PDF is only one file type, the ODF file types differ much between each other. Recognition by their grey symbols might be not enough IMHO. Microsoft has already established a rather strong association between blue and doc file format - OK, we have a little different blue - works for me :>) After all we want folks to refer to text documents and mean Open Document Text Documents...right. Not only text documents: With the new icons we refer to spreadsheets, presentations, databases too. There is no assiciation with blue - and users (especially the MS Office users we want to convince to move) await green, orange or crimson/violet colors for these file types. This could be solved with different colors for the "ODF" area, but it would reduce the strength of the ODF branding. I'd keep one color scheme for ODF branding (preferably colors not already associated with a certain file type - and the ODF logo already uses such colors: yellow and violet), but add the file type information otherwise. With the MS Offfice color similarities we used up to now people keep present associations - so why not add them (less prominent) to the icons? Another way would be using the different ODF file formats in the same style as branding elements: ODF text document ODF spreadsheet document ODF presentation document ODF graphics document and so on. The brackets symbolize the ODF origin as XML based file format, together with the repetitive usage of "OD" and the colored background this might give a sufficient association with ODF as the basis for different document file formats. That said, and just to be sure, there is no talk here of changing the icons displayed by the OpenOffice.org executables - in all their current and glorious color. I believe that's correct? I don't understand the reason to reduce the visual relation between application and document icons. The application icons are much less visible than the document icons: People tend to open a file directly instead of opening the application first and then open a document inside this program. I'd add the ODF badge to the application icons too - this shows that all the OOo applications support ODF, it keeps consistency between application and document icon and improves branding on both ODF and OOo. To me then the issue that is of concern is the start center. I really think that users will have no problem making a distinction, in their minds, between what we display in the start center and what we display in the operating system supplied functionality for file types. ( Explorer, Finder, Browser, etc ) At the moment the start center displays the document icons, but it might be discussed if they don't behave like the app icons: They open the apps with an empty document. So why not show the app icons instead? Once we found a common design for the document icons, the start center will have to get a new design - perhaps a new functionality too ... That does not mean I feel *strongly* that the current application icons must not be changed, or the actual start center graphics - if someone in the arts group wants to take a run at adding our current color theme to the proposed mime type icons for use in the start center I for one would love to see it. I don't see a reason for a third set of icons besides the app and the doc icons. (You know my o

What I would hope to see along with such a change would be a shift in the marketing materials such that the ODF mime file-type icons are emphasized over a diminished perhaps, but maintained, use of the OpenOffice.org specific application icons - and - color themes. This is my definition of investing OpenOffice.org capital, this inclusion of ODF as a specific feature within all of the communities activities. It seems to me that such an action would make it more likely that Linux distributions would want to use these mime type icons in their default, non application specific, icon sets. With regards to other applications that also use the ODF file type and OS distro's changing the application icons - well they do that now, so that is a non issue in my mind - just assume they will do so in the future. Actually, looking at this question of separating the use of the odf mime type icons from the start center I can't help but think such would be best for the other cross platform applications based on OpenOffice.org code - Symphony, OOo4Kids jump to mind, then count in Novell OpenOffice.org, Star Office. Each project going after a slightly different segment of users and so seems fitting that they will want to change the application specific iconography to match. In the case of OOo4Kids, Novell OO.o and Star Office each use the start center, IIRC. IMO building such brand recognition for ODF will require not just our use of the icons but will require an active and orchestrated outreach to other groups and organizations from individuals within the OpenOffice.org community. [again I saw some mail about such actions ] As for timing - outreach first seems to be what I am reading in a number of emails, well - IMO - leadin

Re: [marketing] ODF desktop icons for OOo (without OOo branding ATM) - volunteers?
Hi, To clarify what I wrote, ODF is used by many apps. However, to address your point, Juergen, we can focus on OOo. OOo is provided by many distros. Each of those distros has at least one icon theme. Those themes have basic colors. There are usually two main colors to a theme, sometimes just one. It would encourage adoption of the icons if it were easy for the theme maintainers to use the icons but with their own colors. again from my point of view there is no need, simply use the icons as they are.

[marketing] ODF desktop icons for OOo (without OOo branding ATM) - volunteers?
Hi all, as you probably know, the OOo document icons are going to be replaced by icons representing the document type by greyscale graphics and a blue banner with "ODF" as reference to their affiliation to the ODF family [0]. This has been done in order to improve branding on ODF. As this topic affects central marketing points (OOo branding, color scheme, recognition of OOo as application on the desktop ...) I'd like to see more marketing expertise in the team working on the adoption of these icons for OOo (in SO9.2 they will be used nevertheless). Lutz Hoeger did ask for contributors on the ux list several times (last mail: [1]), he provided a spec [2] and a homepage [3] on the wiki.
