Re: [PROPOSAL] New Apache OpenOffice 4 logo proposals...
I like new logos. 2 questions: - did you try a deep blue instead of black as background, black is very dominant. - new font is better, but how about making it a bit more special. for the 2 O, put in the seagulls (may dimmed). just an idea. rgds Jan I On 27 December 2012 05:07, Michael Acevedo vea1...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings to all in the mailing list and those in this AOO Logo Proposal subject, In this email, I would like to mention that I have added two new logo proposals to the Apache OpenOffice Logo exploration wiki article. Now let me explain what this new logo it's all about. The new logo design does away with the orb and changes it for a gull ring that rests under a blue background which itself rests on circles which are inspired on the Adobe Flex logo multicolor scheme. The new gull ring while being new, retains the familiar circular shape of the current OpenOffice logo, but at the same time is a new take that pays respect to the orb. All of these elements are wrapped in a modern black gradient icon than makes the logo stand out. Furthermore, the new logo actually changes the look of the word OpenOffice into a more modern non-capitalized openoffice word design (also an inspiration from the Adobe Flex project logo). The latter serves the function of highlighting Apache as the owner of the project (whose name is in capital letters), yet the non-capitalized openoffice names takes presence by being written in a larger size font. Overall, the new logo design is simple, clean, and modern. Now that I have given a sense of the new logo, I would like to show you a reveal video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC-tOuhTm9Y But there is one last detail, which actually is a testament to the power of OpenOffice. The detail is that the logo that you see at the end of the video was 99% made in Apache OpenOffice Draw. Hope you liked the logo and the reveal video. Happy Holidays!

The ring around the orb give the idea of boundaries, limits, and we are trying to go beyond every limit ;) I know my design is not professional, it is NOT meant to be so please dont judge it on that. It is simply a thought out of the box, and hopefully it can trigger some ideas. You can see my proposal here:

Re: Presentation file under ALv2
Hi Ross, 2012/12/27 Ross Gardler rgard...@opendirective.com Yes Apache license is applicable to docs and presentations. If distributed via the ASF then they should be Apache licensed. And what about multimédia contents made, for instance, with Wink, and integrated in a document under Alv 2.0, to make an ebook, for instance ? Wink is not free, but there's no restriction for the works created with it. In this case, is an Alv 2.0 also suitable or are there any restrictions for multimédia contents ?

Speakers have already been notified of acceptance/rejection. But the detailed schedule is not ready yet, it will take some more days. What about the following idea: if the number of presentations and presenters allow for, why not repeat the presentations in the afternoon? The idea is not bad, but we won't be able to implement it unless we are given (I'm joking!) a second day... Keynotes, lunch break and the need to start not too early already limit quite a bit our schedule. That said, we have a stand/booth for two full days, so this might be an occasion for some quick demos. Regards, Andrea.

In fact when I saw the video I immediately thought about the 5 Olympic rings which in my mind is a Good Thing (TM). On the initial page, I really did like the last drawing with the interesting intersecting squares but thought it looked a bit washed out and probably wouldn't reproduce well -- like on T-shirts for example. I don't know how this new rendition would work but I find it REALLY stunning -- it's eye catching and fun! The video was really fun as well. :) THANK YOU! I hope others love this too! Great job!
