[libreoffice-marketing] Libre Office logo designs

2010-12-14 Thread Fabian Sturm

Dear Libre Office marketing team,

in a blog post from David Nelson I read that Libre Office is looking  
for a new logo and marketing material. The moment I told this to my  
girlfriend she started Inkscape and produced the first logos that came  
to her mind.


I think they are really applealing especially the last ones showing a  
globe of the world embraced by the L and O of Libre Office.


It would be interesting to heare what you think about those first designs.

Sincerely
Fabian and Anna

You should post a link to those designs, the list doesn't allow attachments.

You can upload them to a site like http://frupic.frubar.net/ or also
add your ideas to the wiki

ciao
Christian

Great - please join our design mailing list too and join the team there.
That's probably the best place for contributors with your skills.

We are working on the LibreOffice icons at the moment, because they 
should be implemented in the upcoming version 3.3.0


The present logo (it's part of our "Initial Branding" that will be 
replaced by a "Community Branding" based on our community's 
contributions) is fixed until LibO 3.4 or LibO 3.5, but we start 
discussing this topic probably after the release of LibO 3.3.0.

Please upload them to the wiki where we already collected a number of 
ideas, so they won't be forgotten when we start working on the Community 
Design:

Just a small question (and offer): when will we arrive at a point
where decisions about the logo are made? I read somewhere that you
want to form a group who takes care of the whole branding issue, and
I'd like to be part of that team.

Thanks,
Joey

Hi Joey (and everybody interested in this topic)!

Any update to the logo will be part of the transition from the "Initial 
Branding Design" we need for our first release(s) and the "Community 
Branding Design" we plan to establish for LibreOffice 3.4 or 3.5.


In my personal opinion this will probably be between Summer 2011 and 
Spring 2012 - but I don't know any official release roadmap for these 
versions.


But we'll need this time to define and create our community based 
branding - starting with looking at our goals, defining how branding 
design can help to get there, creating artwork and spreading it at any 
place LibO is represented in public.



I read somewhere that you
want to form a group who takes care of the whole branding issue, and
I'd like to be part of that team.


That's great!

We will not be able to start "real" work on this topic before the 
release of LibO 3.3, but after the release this will become our main 
task for the next months.


Please join the design mailing list (des...@libreoffice.org), because 
branding related topics are worked on and co-ordinated there.


Best regards

Bernhard

Hi :)

Surely this would be best done within the existing Design Group rather than 
creating a new specialist group?  Too many groups can create communications 
problems.  It would be ideal if the Design Group had specific one-off tasks 
such 
as this along with ongoing work imo.  It is a good time and worth joining for a 
while for such specific tasks.

The name LibO misses the value of the meaning of "Libre".  It sounds more like 
a 
library that linux-people generally ignore on the way to find the juicy stuff.  
It could be just me but LibreO is not really so much more hassle to type?

Good luck and regards from
Tom Davies :)

That's what I said: Please join the Design Group by subscribing to our 
mailing list.



[ ...]  It would be ideal if the Design Group had specific one-off tasks such

while for such specific tasks.


After the release of LibO 3.3 we will work on short- and long-term tasks 
and topics simultaneously.


Just for the moment there is not enough time to work on anything else 
than the most pressing topics.


The name LibO misses the value of the meaning of "Libre".  It sounds more like a
library that linux-people generally ignore on the way to find the juicy stuff.

It still lacks the value of the meaning of "Office". ;-)

LibO is just an internal acronym for LibreOffice.

It's shorter to type and easier in speech.

We already had this discussion on "LO", "LibO" and "LibreO" about two 
months ago. Back then it was decided to prefer "LibO", but not to market 
it in public, because "LibreOffice" still lacks public recognition.


Best regards

Bernhard
