Hi Christoph,
Yeah, your point was well taken. :) I'll make a 256px icon for Math and
then dedicate to the status bar icon issue. Yesterday I read about it,
but I didn't understand very well what's need to do. Today I'll read the
mails again and see what can I do. :D Thank you for remind this issue.
And sorry if my words sounded like "I can't pick every tasks alone". >_<
(english knocks me out all the time. hahaha).
What I mean is the topics I can help somehow are simple design and UI
related. I don't know much about marketing or typography, so I'll not to
try meddle in these fields. :) Everything must be done by teamwork, of
course. :D
Best Regards! :D

Hi Bernhard, hi Paulo,
Just a quick comment, since writing from my mobile. I think the other 256px
icons don't need that much love (but Math perhaps), since they are rarely
(never used) on the desktop - or in Marketing material. Resizing should work
well, I think. In this case, the small document icon for the status bar is more
visible (request by Kohei).
Paulo, the work items link (other mail) was meant to provide more information
on the branding plans - of course, no need to pick all topics and making the
need for a team superflous :-)
Thanks!
Cheers,
Christoph

This might be helpful for you - although it is not that much content, I
once wrote a few lines to make all the artwork fit together well:

Very nice, thank you for this link! :) Based in your tips, I removed the
gloss from Draw icon. Sadly I don't think I can remove the color
blending of the objects with gradient without lost my own style. But no
problem if it must be done to follow the tip "Balanced: The visual
design avoids any extremes. For example, neither extreme coloring nor
intensive surface shining effects are used." ;)
With this phrase we wanted to avoid "funny" effects that look less
professional and serious to some of our possible users and supporters in
business, administration and government.
Your present version of the icons seem to keep the balance quite well,
so I don't think you have to modify them in order to follow our branding
guidelines.
(I'm not fully convinced by the Base icon, because it looks quite light
- perhaps slightly broader lines in 256px and a bit of a darker shading
in 128px might help? But thats less than a minor nuisance, just
nitpicking...)

Bernhard, how to proceed? If I remember correctly, you did combine the
source data ...
As Paulo modified the document symbols too, we have to include not only
a new layer for his application symbols, but one for the document
symbols too.
I tried to copy his layers to the combined version, but this led to
wrong colors.
I'll try again tomorrow.
The next steps on the icon theme would be:
- design the last icons (improve the "quick drafts" by Christoph, add
256px icons to the other files too)
- decide about the symbols where we have different alternatives
- define symbols that need some more improvement
- go through all the proposals we left aside because of the short timeframe
- come to a final version
- have it integrated in the source
- promote it by dedicated marketing material
But I think we don't have that much time for other topics like
- creation of marketing material for the LibO 3.3.0 release
- providing small graphical elements for the website
For these topics we should start a new thread...
Best regards
Bernhard
