Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

Do you want to be the company that is called "that louse office suite"? I sure do not. Remember in the USA "that louse" is what you use to tell people about other people who are bad, crook, and other negative things. On 04/04/2017 04:12 AM, Cor Nouws wrote: Hi all, Heiko Tietze wrote on

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

Heiko/all, I am a big fan of freedom, openness, collaboration & the kinds of things that Libre Open Office and open source stands for. That said, a lot of the logos did look a bit cartoonish, kiddy cartoonish to me, which is not good. I am a big fan of the Seabiscuit horse. (Credits: Laura

I think a dragonfly is indeed a good idea. I often watch them maneuvering at the birdbath. Beautiful and Amazing little creatures. On 04/04/2017 10:18, K-J LibreOffice wrote: Hi all, what do you think about a dragonfly (odonata) [1], [2]. Carl von Linné called it: "Libellula" and so we get

Great idea! Easy to name, broad associations, and beautiful artwork including tatoos (for those who really love the product) and sticker pins. Unfortunately there is http://www.dragonflybsd.org/images/ (never heard before). Challenge for designer to make it look different? 2017-04-04 11:18

We can also think of imaginary animals? (As the dragon KDE), for example the mythological griffin, pegasus, Phoenix. Best! Il 04/04/2017 08:55, Heiko Tietze ha scritto: > 2017-04-04 1:48 GMT+02:00 Tim-L--Elmira-NY : >> For me, I keep thinking that LO is slowly

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

I heard of EuroOffice for years - no comment on their fork. I am not sure I like their horse mascot. I am not too fond of the stylized bird used by OpenOffice.org for years. Mascot being a moving animal, well there are a lot of different birds that would work. Using a "raptor" or bird of

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

I am not a LO developer but we use it company-wide. I'd strongly advise against a horse as a mascot. Horses are not considered terribly smart, nor are they cute. You want to convey that LO is the smart choice, and that it works hard for you. A horse does not convey that message. If you look at

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

Hi all! I don't know if it could be a real issue for a horse as a mascot, but the EuroOffice (based on OpenOffice/LibreOffice) already uses a horse in its logo: http://www.multiracio.com/index.php?lang=en=eurooffice=eo Best! Gustavo. On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 5:23 PM, Tim-L--Elmira-NY <

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

I liked the Duke Java mascot. The other two seemed too cartoon-ish for me. I have seen many horse mascots - not for any computer field item - and those looked nice. I fear that if the mascot is too cartoon-ish, then it might give some people the idea of LO being non-professional. Tux,

RE: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice Mascot

Hi all, How about a mascot based on a horse, signifying freedom for OSS and ODF, speed for a rapid release cycle, many breeds for the different versions available on a variety of platforms. Best, Edwin -Original Message- From: Heiko Tietze [mailto:tietze.he...@googlemail.com] Sent:
