As far as I can tell, the rebranding is mostly two things: (1) The appearance of the Welcome screen will change (icons, colours, Oracle logo). If we have any pix of this screen in the user guides, they would be in Chapter 1 of the books. (2) The colour of the seagulls, and some minor aspects of their appearance, will change. This affects the cover design in our template and all the existing chapters and books, but AFAIK does not affect anything in the contents. (3) "Sun" is replaced by "Oracle" in most, but possibly not all, instances. I think the only place we mention "Sun" is in Chapter 1 and one of the Appendixes of Getting Started... with one exception: some of the extensions are named "Sun [something]" -- any that we mention in the chapters on customising would need to be checked against the extension listing to see if the name of the extension has in fact changed.
Here are the links (provided by Andy Brown) to more info: http://www.openoffice.org/trademark/brandrefresh.html Shows the new logo. http://www.patentpending.co.nz/soapbox/?p=3 Shows the Install screen, Start Center and the About screen. http://www.patentpending.co.nz/soapbox/?p=52 Shows the Setup, Application and File icons. You could also check on the Marketing wiki to see if there is any more (later) information. --Jean On Mon, 2010-05-10 at 10:15 -0500, Claire Wood wrote: > Can you be more specific as to what the "branding" will be.
