I will work on all the requests and suggestions by Bernhard and Lars. Thank you for the input. Your previews seem to be broken... Is there a way to control the preview?

I'm not the right person to reply to these questions (perhaps someone of the Oracle team can step in), but I didn't hear about any attempt to trademark the gull orb. I've been told about three levels of protection: The logo is covered by the trademark, while the blue only gull orb (at the brandrefresh page with the TM sign) is covered by copyright - a decision about a open source license (share alike or something similar) has not been found. Based on this orb different versions can be created (shaded, 3D effects, following special designs ...), I think this is the reason why the application icon has no copyright sign...

I like all of them, but as you know me, I can't comment without any criticism... While both the larger and smaller address labels are really well done and not to be discussed from trademark POV (they don't contain the logo, while the gull orb is not covered by the trademark), the 2x4 stickers will probably need to become approved by the trademark owner (Oracle). As the trademark policy has not been finished yet, I can't tell you if providing the template to everybody interested in using the logo will fit the rules they will establish. Perhaps Stefan Taxhet or Louis Suarez-Potts can provide more information or grant usage - I CC'd them... From design point of view the logo seems to be stretched: it's borders are not as sharp as they should be. If such labels will be allowed to be created, I'd propose to use larger scaled bitmaps or vector graphics as basis for the logo. Best regards Bernhard PS: Your previews seem to be broken...

[marketing] Printable Openoffice.org Logo templates
Hi Marketing I am preparing templates ready for print with Openoffice.org logos/artwork like this: http://templates.services.openoffice.org/en/node/4445 for CD Inserts, CD labels, address labels, all size stickers ect. Can I get feedback on the best artwork to use for this and/or suggestions. Thank you Russell dev@marketing.openoffice.org
Re: [marketing] Printable Openoffice.org Logo templates
Hi Russell, sorry for not being able to give a valid advise, but at the moment we're stuck in trademark issues with the new logo. While the old logo was to be used after a confirmation request (with positive reply) on lo...@marketing.ooo, new logo usage should be allowed after filling a form at the website and following the new trademark policy for OpenOffice.org. Unfortunately Oracle legal seems to need even more time in examining the trademark policy draft, so there is no way to get approval for using this logo except with a single case request at the trademark owner - Oracle.

Re: [marketing] Printable Openoffice.org Logo templates
Hi Bernhard Thank you for the reply. I will delete the template uploaded and wait until the trademark policy and branding is decided. Then I will prepare a collection of ready to print templates. Perhaps these templates should be hosted in both the Art project section and Template repository? The object is to have many types of ready to print templates so folks can conveniently download and use, not necessarily for Worldlabel products but all types of printable media. Each template would reference as many manufacturer/supplies as possible so it would be easy to find the correct supplies to print on.
