Hi Bernhard, I'm sorry to appear a bit disruptive, but I think that the changes concerning the logo already address some parts of the community branding. Although I'm happy if we can further refine our branding, I fear that such changes lead to a bit confusion ... I've already seen a lot of Material created for the trade fairs (shirts, banner, pens, lanyards, ...) being affected of such changes. Moreover, blogger and press already use the given material ... so I am a bit doubtful concerning any change at the moment.
Thus, if there are issues to combine the document symbol with the rest of the graphic items, would it be helpful to just foucs on the text LibreOffice and a subline? If we need something "neat", why not play with the triangle that may be added somewhere - it can also be considered to be a (current) key visual. What do you think?
