I, for one, am not very experienced with Inkscape so it would be useful to swap files between each other as we work on them - of course anyone interested is welcome to join and we can keep the list updated with all progress.

Regards, Ivan. You may want to arrange for a dedicated irc channel. It would probably be more efficient and won' t confuse other members on the main LO irc channel. If the channel is always available then, at the very least, will give the design team members channel access to work with.

Going to bed now - if anybody wants to use what I started to work on, here is the SVG source file: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Bedipp/Drafts Bernhard Dippold schrieb: [...] As an easy approach I'd just remove the filling of the colored corner for templates. That's what I did by now - and used the present branding colors, added Blue3 for Math and a dark green for Chart documents/templates. I imagine some kind of inverted filling of the icons (becoming lighter in general) - perhaps with inverted symbols too... Fell free to use my work as a basis for yours, or Ivan's (if he could share his sources - I don't want to recreate the symbols being simple and recognizable). We should have a basic design tomorrow or at least on Saturday in order to create the different sizes (and perhaps high contrast icons too).

Hi Christoph, Christoph Noack schrieb: Hi Bernhard, I already decided to go to bed ... so just a few thoughts. Me too ;-) Am Donnerstag, den 25.11.2010, 23:03 +0100 schrieb Bernhard Dippold: Ivan, Christoph, everybody else: Do you have an other / better proposal we can agree upon during the next hours ? You proposals look fine for me. But, do we really need additional colors for less used applications / files like Math, Macros, HTML, Global Documents, ... Wouldn't it be better to use a neutral gray (and only for those icons)? As Math seems to be an independent application (with it's own file extension) I thought it would be necessary. Same for Chart documents. But these thoughts derive from the Galaxy icons - I don't mind at all, if we stay grey/neutral with all of the less used icons. In contrast to the ODF approach, this would even help to better identify the real documents. And, it would also reduce the amount of initial work to be spent. The only question to me is, whether we want to use the original Document Symbol for that. The branding guidelines currently state to not modify the document symbol - so maybe changing the edge back to mimic a default icon? The empty corner idea was only meant for template icons - document and application icons should have the filled corner as the default icons. I thought it would be an easy approach to differentiate between documents and templates while keeping the branding language. But you might be right that this could be regarded as allowed modification to the symbol for other use-cases too. I'm indecisive at the moment - it depends on how we modify the main part of the icons... And of course: Thank you both! It seems that you both don't need any sleep ;-) I definitely do! Good night!
