There are contrast issues in some of the logos at <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/2/25/LibreOffice_LogoImprovements2016_Ideation.png>. (The criterion is use for contrast comes from Success Criterion 1.4.3 in the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0: <https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#visual-audio-contrast-contrast>. I used the Colour Contrast Analyser from <https://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrastanalyser/> to check the contrast.) For example, in the logos above the first horizontal line: * in the logo with the green background, the contrast varies on where you check (due to the gradient): ** close to the "L": #FFFFFF on #36B923: contrast ratio of 2.59 to 1 ** close to the other end of the name: #FFFFFF on #18A203: contrast ratio of 3.38 to 1 * in the logo with the grey background, the contrast is OK: #FFFFFF on #666666: contrast ratio of 5.74 to 1 The green letters on a white background also have insufficient contrast. (Unfortunately, I can't continue checking; the image with the logos no longer diplays in my browser.) This is obviously not a new issue. For example, the splash screen in LibreOffice 4.0.4.2 (the version on my PC) also has white text on a green background with a contrast ratio of 2.86 to 1, which is much too low, even for big letters.
