Hi Bernard,
please make it available online as well.
Of course - we're using the wiki for our work, but I didn't set up the
dedicated wiki page by now.
It's perfect timing, i am just
wanted to start a discussion on the marketing list about a common
design/brand for OpenOffice.org that can be used for different use case.

Creating such a design / visual identity has been one of the main topics
in the Art Project for the last 2 or 3 years.
Unfortunately we didn't have enough man power to create more artwork
using the elements of the OOo3 splash screen - there are just a few
graphical elements that can be used for branding.
With the idea of an updated / new OOo logo we want to introduce a better
branding and visual identity than up to now. But this is just a first step.
New ideas will be presented at the OOoCon at Orvieto - if and when this
will lead to a new visual identity by the use of new branding elements
is totally open ...
For the moment I'd propose to use the elements of OOo3, the present logo
and the mimetype icons.
Please have a look at the Art Project's wiki area
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art
for some ideas (especially the page about the OOo3 elements).
I especially have merchandising material in mind.
There have been some designs for merchandising in the past (I for myself
did some t-shirts, cups, pins and cuff links some time ago).
If you want to, we can discuss this part of the topic on
[email protected].
But anyway important
is that we have one design/brand that can be used everywhere.
You're totally right - consistency in visual impression is a very
important part of marketing and brand recognition.
We'll have to intensify our efforts in that area.
While the present branding elements are more or less limited in
usability, it is necessary to keep an eye on this topic when we want to
introduce new graphics...
Best regards
Bernhard
