I don't think they are balanced. The first one shrinks the LibreOffice
Logo (don't like that), the second one tries to put both on the same
baseline (it cuts the date), but kind of fails at that - the Berlin
part is shifted upwards, the third one centers the LibreOffice logo
with the total height of the Berlin one, and again this looks very
unbalanced.

So personally I wouldn't use any of those as-is. The one with the same
baseline is the only one that I can imagine to be used when the Berlin
part is shifted down a little so that the bottom line matches that of
the LibreOffice Logo (the text portion of it).

Said & done. (But that doesn't mean there is no room for improvement,
if someone has a nicer looking one, please go ahead).

Better to have a "meh, not perfect" link to the conference up now than
to wait until one week before the conference :-)

Because this is text, and text has to be translated (at least to a
bigger extent than a logo) - and with text you have the problem of
different fonts installed, i.e. different look/layout. Positioning
real text next to a logo and make it look nice is harder than putting
an image with prerendered text on the site.
