[libreoffice-documentation] Are there icons and banners to use on the documentation blog?
I was going through the settings on Wordpress.com and saw the settings to upload graphics to use as IPad app icons. Wordpress will use those icons for IPad users to display the blog webpage. Wordpress will allow an iPad user to have a link to the site on their desktop like an app. LibreOffice does not work on iOS yet, but it does work on OSX. I can resize any graphics that have been approved, to fit the requirements of wordpress. Are there graphics we can use? -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It's a nice icon shape, at least. Otherwise, asking on the Marketing list might either provide a better answer or lead to a discussion that might result in more graphics. I have't been following discussions there, so I'm very out of touch with the latest info. Bernhard Dippold appears to be a particularly knowledgeable person, but I'm sure there are others. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

HTH. Thanks for pointing here, as we haven't been able to finish the work on our galleries containing graphical resources for internal and external visual representation of LibreOffice: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Visual_Elements [...] We're working on the libodocs.wordpress.com blog for the documentation team. We're looking for graphics to use on the blog for iPad users. Can you help? If I understand you right, you need an icon to be used on iPad desktops as direct link to the documentation blog http://libodocs.wordpress.com/ Do you want to use a similar icon on the blog itself? While on the blog it would be no problem to use the main application icon (like this one: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-list-icon.png), for iPads the question is a bit different: We need to avoid some misinterpretations: 1) The icon does not open LibreOffice locally on the iPad. 2) The icon does not link to the official LibreOffice homepage. 3) The icon does not link to the main LibreOffice blog. So the icon needs to identify the link target as - web based - being a blog - dedicated to the documentation team. Adding some graphics inside the document symbol could interfere with the branding guidelines (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding), because the application icons is just a refined symbol from the logo. For such a dedicated design it would be important to know the size of other icons on iPad, so we can include the possibility for more or less details our ideas and drafts. Does anybody know about the size for standard iPad application icons?

You bring up good points about being clear as to what the icon does. It would appear that the icons would be available only from the documentation blog. That should let the user know the icons link to the documentation blog only. The requirements are for two images, one a cover image and one that as described, sounds like a splash screen. I quote from the wordpress.com iPad OnSwype section of the settings for the documentation blog, * "Cover Logo -For best results use a 200×200px transparent PNG Launch Screen Image Readers can add your site to their iPad’s home screen for quick access from an app-like icon. The launch screen image is briefly displayed after your site is opened from an iPad home screen icon, before the cover image appears. Use a PNG exactly 768×1004px "* There is an option to use a cover image or not. (This would display a recent post from the blog) What do you think? Is this do-able? *John Shabanowitz http://libodocs.wordpress.com We're recruiting, come join us.* -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
