Hi Drew, * I've been much too short in my comment - thanks for clarification...

That's what I meant by "it's based on" - it follows the same "visual language". If you understood it as "copied" or "wasn't able to create anything on his own" I'm very sorry - it's exactly the opposite to what I meant! I want to get a common design for all community distributions - but at the moment I can't spend enough time on this task. > > [... interactive work on the US marketing mailing list ... ] > > - so calling it 'Drew's' disc is a bit of a stretch, IMO. Sorry - I didn't know.

It is marked for reply (as about 30 other mails on the design list), but you're right - a short "I like it - it fit's with the branding guideline" would have been appropriate. I'll remember (hopefully) for the next time. The reason why to post it on the DE-list was a different one: People there still discussed different proposals for their DVD design. As I already mentioned, I want to create a consistent Branding Design for LibreOffice, so I hoped they would tend to the proposal similar to the US group's design. They did ;-) > > [...] Best regards And sorry again for any displeasure!
