But with nearly 4000 responses to the survey so far I think it shows that many thought it worth their effort to participate in the survey in a constructive way. This is good. We were happy to accept logo contributions from anyone. We didn't ask for their C.V. first. That's the nature of open source: we're open. Of course, not all of the logos will make it on to the second round.

Re: Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Logo Survey now Open!
Rob, Thank you for the opportunity to give input into the new logo. I just took the survey and, while I appreciated the opportunity to give comments on individual logos, I wanted to just give a general observation. Of all the logos I saw, only one had a serif typeface. I think the use of a classic serif typeface (Garamond, Linux Libertine, Goudy, etc.) might work well in the logo.

Re: Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Logo Survey now Open!
Small question: what is the point having a nice/renewed main logo when the application icons and their mime type icons are so outdated??? What users do really see are the application/MIME icons (in menus and in their file browser), not the main logo that splashes a split second... The previous design was so nice. It just lacked some colors, that's all (I mean the refresh branding). Even with the 40 logos, there is no proposal that creates a link a common ground to the applications icons (except one with mere copy/paste of the application icons). At least the refresh branding gave a global theme for the whole look and feel. NB1: I did the survey nonetheless. NB2: not subscribed to the marketing list.

I'm reminded of an old Woody Allen quote: Time is nature's way of preventing everything from happening at once. The fact that we're doing one thing now does not mean we won't also do other things later. As it says in the survey introduction, this is part of an overall brand refresh effort. Other pieces will occur as well, but not all at once and certainly not all today. -Rob The previous design was so nice. It just lacked some colors, that's all (I mean the refresh branding).

As it says in the survey introduction, this is part of an overall brand refresh effort. Other pieces will occur as well, but not all at once and certainly not all today. But it may be less easy to derive a theme from a single logo than building a whole pack having in mind the synergy needed between the main logo and the application icons. LibreOffice was very consistent about that when they forked. Their visual identity is rather strong and efficient. But well, let's see how it goes. I just hope that the other icons will be changed shortly afterward. They are the real weak point in the AOO visual brand IMHO (and it's no fun looking at them all day long).
