That won't change. If, for example, we had to issue a 3.4.2 maintenance release I doubt we would update the logo there. But when we update the website, the new logo would be on all pages, including those pages that discuss 3.4.1 and earlier versions. This should be less confusing, IMHO, then the many places on the website and wiki where we still call ourselves OpenOffice.org. -Rob Don - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Some of the layout could use some polishing which I could help with. I could generate the smaller images, fav icons, etc. once we have the SVG. I could check out and in changes, both code and resource files like images. A quick thought on the workflow. Abstractly we'll probably want a master image SVG file and then a set of defined steps (a recipe) that gets us from the master SVG to each of bitmap images we'll need. This is probably not something that can be entirely automated, but we could have steps in a text file stored parallel to the source, or on the wiki. For example, to produce the website logo from the master: 1) Remove the version number from the master logo 2) Crop to specified aspect ratio, with specified centering of the logo 3) Export to PNG, with alpha transparency, with specified dimensions Something like that (with the details specified, obviously) That way, if we ever need to tweak the logo master SVG we can consistently generate the derived versions. -Rob Samer On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 6:31 PM, Andrea Pescetti pesce...@apache.org wrote: Rob Weir wrote: Now that the core decision making process is over, what are the next steps?

Logo next steps
Some ideas: 1) I'm hoping we start seeing revisions of logos by Monday so we can take it to the next stage. Post them to the wiki. You can add your logo to the wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Stage+2+Logo+Refinement 2) Let's then discuss on the list and see if we can come to a consensus on the single logo to go with. Aim for a decision within a week, if possible. I'd rather avoid another survey. A few ways we could do this. We could discuss and by process of elimination converge on a single logo. Or maybe we ask each designer to vote for one logo, but they can't vote on their own? (Or would that be too dramatic?) Or, as a last resort we could ask the PMC to decide. But it is best if we can reach consensus instead of voting. We all know that we'll have only one logo in the end. 3) When we settle onto a logo, we'll need to get the vector source files uploaded. I can help with that. 4) We'll then need to make a variety of bitmap treatments of the logo. We'll need one for the website. Different ones for avatars for our Twitter, Google+ and Facebook pages. One for the Help/About dialog in the product. Possibly a more elaborate treatment for the splash screen, where we can create a larger image that includes the logo. We'll also want a much simplified and smaller treatment for the favicon. We can share these tasks. We don't need the original designer to do it all, once we have picked the main logo. We can even start now to collect technical requirements of these treatments, such as aspect ratio, 4) There are other elements of the brand refresh that we should look at as well, like updating toolbar icons. The connection to the logo is subtle here. I think it has more to do with the color palette, degree of saturation, lighting effects, etc. I am not a designer, so we really need someone with expertise to step up and make a proposal here on what we should do.
