Thanks :-) The original idea was to have something that can represent LibreOffice and also The Document Foundation when giving talks and such stuff. Unfortunately, it still has some drawbacks described on this page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Ideas#LibreOffice_initial_presentation_template_.28DRAFT.29 The original blog posting is here: http://luxate.blogspot.com/2010/10/libreoffice-presentation-template-first.html Furthermore, it has been created months ago ... and now we do have a new community logo [1], slightly updated branding [2], a great new motif [3] - so its already a bit outdated. Paulo started to work on a template that incorporates some visual elements from the current LibreOffice icons, but his computer broke ... and so his network access is quite limited at the moment. Personally and visually, we miss him :-\ However ...

I don't know whether this heavily branded version should be the default in Impress, but it could be very useful for the LibreOffice community to have something streamlined - that works really well. So if you want to give it a try, please do ... maybe this mail [4] by Nik helps you to get some understanding concerning the visual language (which is not yet agreed / documented). [4] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02102.html But, there have been several attempts to collect / re-do some of the currently shipped templates - that (full agreement) do more harm to the eyes than being helpful. So if you want to jump in here as well, please go ahead - any help is really appreciated. Link [5] contains a thread starter ... [5] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00635.html A lot of information - sorry if you might now feel a bit overwhelmed. Just ask if we can answer any of your further questions.
