Hi Paulo, spend your energy wisely, we really need you for some more stuff ;-) To be serious, thanks a lot for doing such great stuff, and - at the same time - being so open for some feedback!

For example, neither extreme coloring nor > intensive surface shining effects are used." ;) Well, it is about balance - so just keep your color blends if you think it suits well. To be honest, these information have been provided since some people totally miss the concept of "looking alike" branding ;-) And - maybe this might be also interesting for you - the same page contains color palettes for Inkscape, The Gimp and LibO. So if you need to pick the colors - have a look at Color/Resources. Concerning the branding (and without wanting to speed up the kick-off), the current visual identity has been worked out before we went public (Initial Branding). So many people already asked whether it can be changed/improved - yes, there will be changes (Community Branding). It is planned to do some (r)evolution that is carried out very thoughtfully ... just to let you know, that there is more to come. But at the moment, we focus on the very next two releases. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Work_Items > > Thanks, Ivan.

You may also publish/link your work on/to the dedicated wiki page (if you like). http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/LibreOffice_Initial_Icons#Present_State_of_the_Icon_Design Bernhard, how to proceed?
