Hi David, thanks for the research work :-) I just wanted to mention that, because I won't be able to comment on the rest of the threads at the moment. Moreover, it would be great if you could link your mail (along with some paper plane considerations) from within the Marketing Ideas page [1] - so it doesn't get lost.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Change icon?
Hi Lucas & guys, :-) I didn't find any usage of paper plane logos/graphics that, IMHO, precludes adopting Lucas Filho's idea. The companies/organizations using a paper plane-based logo probably have less name recognition than LibO can potentially acquire. IANAL, but I imagine there wouldn't be any copyright problem, especially if one came up with something having its own originality. In any case, a sheet of paper is a pretty ubiquitous thing, too, so maybe the same issues would apply to TDF's current logo? Below are some quick research results for your consideration. HTH.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Change icon?
Hi! I don´t think a paper plane is the right choice for a serious application used in personal and business world. Also a mascot is also a very difficult thing: you can get a tux or a paper clip... Nevertheless we should continue gather ideas and maybe something will evolve... So I will think about it and eventually come up with some ideas, too. regards Jens -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Change icon?
Hi Marc, all! Sorry for being a bit late - missed the plane (sorry, bad joke *g*). I just have a few-hours-timeslot for answering mails which was partly filled with the today's SC meeting. So well ... Am Dienstag, den 02.11.2010, 21:31 -0400 schrieb Marc Paré: > Before we do this. Is there any business or organization that uses a > paper airplane as a logo? However, when we thought about the LibO branding, we also thought about the paper plane idea, but we did not use it for one main (let's call it) reason. Marc, as you said, we didn't knew exactly about other organizations and their logos. I remember that I saw something like that for a postal service or so. But we didn't investigate here too much. Maybe you can start here I know that some people think the current logo misses a personal touch ... to be honest, I thought that we might have something like "Duke" (the Java mascot). But I really miss the design skills to turn a document into a cool, thrilling and funny thing (the triangles being the hat, the eyebrows, ...). Anybody with a pencil and a sheet of paper? :-) Just my thoughts ...

I am liking the paper plane icon concept more and more, as well. To go along with the icon, we could create various folding templates for different paper plane designs, put a LibO icon on them in prominent places, and distribute them digitally as ODGs and PDFs. We could print them out for conferences, and let people pick them up and fold them using instructions printed as part of the template. There are many great designs to be found online, such as these: http://www.funpaperairplanes.com/Plane%20Downloads.html -Ben Benjamin Horst bho...@mac.com 646-464-2314 (Eastern) www.solidoffice.com -- E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
