Because OpenOffice.org is almost 10 years old, and that as our own interfaces change, so should our branding. But here&#8217;s the trick Oracle&#8217;s acquisition of Sun does not come very much into play here: Otherwise we would all be covered in red and have sailboats instead of our beloved Hamburg&#8217;s seagulls (the birds you have to come to associate OpenOffice.org with). So what what started here, is a refresh in our branding, and we want it to be progressive.</p> -<p><em>Updated: I just received news that Larry Ellison&#8217;s sailboat <a href="http://www.oracle.com/corporate/bmw-oracle-racing.html">who just won the America&#8217;s Cup</a>, has been designed based on seagulls&#8217;s shapes. A nod to OpenOffice.org maybe?</em></p> -<p>That&#8217;s why we started ith subtle, but somewhat substantial redesigns of our logo and visual appearance. Here&#8217;s our brand, for instance:</p> -<p> <img src="http://standardsandfreedom.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sbres-1267736522-1-.png" name="images2" width="300" border="0" height="150" /> <br clear="left" /></p> -<p>As you can see, the font, the colour sequence and even the shade of blue have changed. We will not stop there, and will also work on other visual elements, such as our icons. And here&#8217;s the great part: You can help too, by joining <a href="http://marketing.openoffice.org/brand/">our Branding Initiative</a> and participate on <a href="mailto:[email protected]">our dedicated mailing list</a>. I hope you enjoy our new designs.
