I have added the two suggestions you were referring to to the wiki page.

Hi :)

Is there somewhere to see a list of proposed slogan's?  I prefer "evolution" to
"revolution" becuase people are talking about "Cloud apps" as being THE
revolution and that is scaring a lot of people.


"Enter the revolution" was the web banner we used for the first OOo 
websites. Maybe the German team has still examples of those banners 
somewhere on their cvs repo. So that might be confusing for some long 
time users if we use the same type of slogan.


Kind regards
Sophie

[libreoffice-marketing] Slogans

Hi :)

Is there somewhere to see a list of proposed slogan's?  I prefer "evolution" to 
"revolution" becuase people are talking about "Cloud apps" as being THE 
revolution and that is scaring a lot of people.

LibreOffice looks like the older versions of MicroSquish Office and a lot of 
people have grumbled about the all new ribbon-bar at the top of the last 2 
releases of MicroSquish Office.  Personally i had no trouble with the 
ribbon-bar 
but many people hate it.

We have a window of opportunity to 'sell' LibreOffice as being the only 
evolutionary Office suite because everyone else forces people into 
revolutionary 
things that they don't want and are scared of or hate.

I also liked "freedom never tasted so suite".

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Slogan

I have also been considering the slogan. The concept that I was
thinking of was to reflect the transition from OpenOffice.org to
LibreOffice into the slogan.

At this point in time I might suggest:

LibreOffice, the document evolution

This would reflect the culture change that LibreOffice has come to represent.
...Later, as LibreOffice becomes mature and new features and interface
is introduced:

LibreOffice, the document revolution

The implication of this is a 'new way' to create documents. I don't
think LibreOffice is a revolution yet, but there are ideas out there,
such as the citrus interface which would warrant such a statement.

Just my 2c
