I think Michaels proposal is the beginning of hopefully more. I personally see a reused old orb + some new elements. But the squares remind me to windows and the colors don't fit really together from my point of view. We should think about something really new and fresh with or without the gulls. We should think for what OpenOffice and Apache stands for - free office software for the public good - for many million users all over the world - many languages - .... We should think about something that can maybe visualize some of these attributes and can transport the message in one or multiple combined graphical elements. Too bad that I am no designer, but I will try to think about ideas and will at least share my ideas with you.
