Armin,
The application icons may differ from the logo. Are you talking about
these:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/02+-+Design+Proposal+Samer+Mansour+2013.03.03
It may have been the first version of that that I removed a few months
back. There was some design faux pas in that icon set.
It was something like that, I'm not 100% sure (time kills pixels in
memory ;-)) I checked the history, so it may have been version 1.0 of
that page. I ought to remember that there were "both" gulls in that
App-like logo. Hmmm...
It remember it was as a reply to my mail around Januar
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201301.mbox/%3c50e41265.1040...@me.com%3E)
which contained my Logo-Mockup
(http://people.apache.org/~alg/Logos/AOOLogo.png
<http://people.apache.org/%7Ealg/Logos/AOOLogo.png>). Someone grepped
the idea and extended it, but I cannot find it anymore.
Please check sibling pages. I haven't deleted anything in the wiki. I've
copied pages and then deleted content to make summaries.

Hi Samer,
thanks for working on the overview! Despite that, I'm missing the
'App-Icon'-like ones, I do no longer know whwre these were or from whom.
It's the rectangular ones (like the famous 'App'-icons for various
AppStores, in our Blue, with the Seagulls, also with slight lighting
effect. I consider these a good and modern alternative.
Could we please add these to the selection (if we find them again, of
course)...?
Sincerely,
Armin

Summary of feedback (which I found made points):
Samer - Lets go flat, its strong in all aspects brought up.
Kay S. - Agrees with flat logo. Poll should be limited to few.
Robin - Wordmarks need more attention (not logo specific), Vasilis logo is
cool, downside too different. Robin made a similar refresh with/without
feather. Scales his orb down, no indication for his logo preference (he
did
submit one more). Agrees technical aspect of print, but its not deciding
factor (I agree but it should be satisfied).
Dave F - Wordmark needs attention as well, likes flat logo.
Dennis - Check with trademark@
Andrea - Likes orb, not a fan of flat (as its been used as a surrogate in
the past due to limitations).
Alexandro - alters Robins logo.
Juergen - What about stand alone logo for buttons, stickers. Proposes we
should poll.
Kadal - "Because companies do it, we shouldn't?" - not sure that is
convincing b/c they pay expert designers.
Vasilis - Likes flat, but wordmark not so much.
Milo - Likes flat, but workmark needs changing, TM placement too.
Rob - Poll, but its not decision making. PMC decides in end. PMC likes
data, more the better (ie. poll data). "Consider conferences and booth
materials, CD prints, etc."
Janl - Agrees poll for decision is bad idea, but poll for data is good.
"Keep it similar to classic orb". "Doesn't have to be flat" but Janl
doesn't state outright if flat is bad.
Graham L - "Logo is not a computer icon". Print is a huge part of
marketing. Print good -> electronically good, but not necessarily other
way
around.
I could set up a visual poll and share multiple time over facebook and
social media.

Respond with your favourite 3 logo please, or top 2 or 1. The logos that
score the least will be eliminated:
1. Flattened Logo
2. Kevin G. Flat Feather.

Hi guys,
just a quick comment and clarification regarding printing and logos.
Print-friendly version (vector, CMYK) is crucial to be prepared
during logo design process. This includes color and black&white
version (on light and dark background).
I must disagree with the comments on that printing is rarely used
anymore - few examples include billboards, fair stands, business
cards, letterheads and other stationery, and so on.
But OpenOffice is a desktop application. For me, this means the main
focus should be in a logo that looks good everywhere where it is mainly
used, in the user's desktop (even in the window title bar) and the
website (even in the website favicon). Thus, IMHO, printing has the
lowest priority.

I have been keeping out of this conversation because I don't have time
at
the
moment to give sufficient focus to OO, but I have been reading the list
as
I
am able. The above statement however prompts me to respond.
The main focus of the logo is to identify and attract. The statement
above
shows a limited understanding of marketing. The advent of computers has
far
from given us a paperless office, it has in fact increased paper usage
by a
huge margin. Print media is a hugely significant part of marketing
collateral. Flyers, posters CD sleeves and labels, business cards etc.
Whenever reviews are printed in magazines there should be a logo with
the
article. Logo is not just about finding OO on a computer, that's an
icon.
The logo should work in print (specifically worst case scenario which is
4
colour on newsprint) and it will work digitally, the opposite does not
necessarily follow.
Cheers

Apart form anything else, why is it so difficult to make a vector image
that is good on print and on screen? When something is achievable why
settle for something less?
