https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Logo+Proposals
with the a tag line of "Free and Open productivity suite!" and feather.

It can be eliminated. Put " " in instead as I'm not sure what will
happen if it is empty - probably the perl borks (I learned a new word from
infra) or "null" will appear.

Yup, me too. I did the work below. A null is now no worry.
I'm thinking about the sledgehammer doctype change. Probably soon, but I need
to find a good exemplar to copy.

At that point it had its own branding, which you can see at http://www.openoffice.org. The project has come over to Apache, along with the trademarks and websites. We need to adapt it to Apache branding practices, which means we it must be called Apache . We voted to call it Apache OpenOffice (dropping the ".org" in the name) You can see the primary Apache branding elements on the http://www.apache.org website. The goal -- perhaps unstated -- was to update the existing OpenOffice.org logo to the new name and add a hint of Apache-ness to it. And as a follow up to that new branding, generate a set variations of that for the website, as well as special variations for use by 3rd parties to express support for the product, perhaps a "get Apache OpenOffice" or "Download Apache OpenOffice" or similar. So, the move to Apache has driven this change, and compliance with Apache branding guidelines would be one measure of success. As Kay said, evolution over revolution is another part.

Here is a quick and easy how to.
(1) Add the new logo to ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/images/. directory
(2) Edit the brand file in ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/brand.mdtext
Change the logo parameter to the new name.
Since you have included most of the tagline then modify that to
"(incubating)".

I am referring to the Text that gets inserted to the right of the logo.
{{ headers.tagline }}
The {{ headers.tagline }}
Now I could program as this:
{% block tagline %}{% if headers.tagline %}{{ headers.tagline }}{% endif %}{% endblock %}
And then the row can be deleted.
I'll do that now.

Speaking only from what I've been putting up the idea(s) that I try to keep in mind are: Change as evolution over revolution. One community member, Graham Lauder, has done I think I think are putting forward the idea of more radical change, from the perspective of visual branding. I believe he, maybe someone else, has started putting together some wiki pages covering a branding language - that needs to be expanded most likely. Anyway - I mostly just wanted to ping back and say that this is something that needs attention and look forward to new ideas and efforts...so welcome!

Re: [FORUMS] landing page/logo design
Dave and Drew, Hey there, my name is Kevin and I'm new to the effort. I'll like to contribute to the branding, UI styling and user experience moving forward. I've taken a look at the logos proposal pages, and their are some great elements. I'm having a hard time selecting which is most appropriate because I'm unclear on the design brief. In other words, what is the message? what are the requirements? and ultimately? what are the criteria for success for the logo elements. Is there a wiki page that captures this information? If not, could you share your thoughts?

Set all links for the graphics, license, contact, updated page meta-information. Added a couple of links just above the CSE input box: one for the documentation section on the wiki, the mailing list overview page and what I'm assuming is the quasi-official (is it?) Google+ page for Apache OpenOffice. Not sure these should be here or if this is exactly the best links, really looking for feedback here - but not to waist to much time on it, we can adjust this stuff easily enough over time IMO.. The proposed replacement can be reviewed at: http://baseanswers.com/temp/index_test.html @Raphael - To get it on the VM I suppose the easiest (for me for sure :) and fastest way is, just put everything in an archive file and send it to you via email? otherwise - off to point to this in a forum post also.

Re: [FORUMS] landing page...
Hi Drew,
In your copy of ooo.css remove the height parameter on line 433 or change it to
100px.
#ooo-logo {
height: 104px;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-left: 8px;
}
If you do that the logo will be at its natural size and be sharpest.
Regards,
Dave

I've used a forum specific logo design - this is a second pass on a

I did add two new ID types in the ooo.css file.
Also, took some liberties in the lower right hand corner..

Ah - well, I've actually got a static html page that could be a replacement, I think pretty much ready to go. I suppose the quickest way forward today would be to put it up, as a mockup, on the web so folks (here and with a note to the forums) could take a quick gander - assuming it looks good to others, then I suppose I should attach it to a JIRA issue..I would guess. so thanks again for the kick - sorry for being so late - off to handle that first part now. //drew
