There's already a branding page on the wiki now and I really like the logo and the guidelines (proposed?) ober there: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding The only thing I could imagine would be a logo-variation with the paper-plane. Perhaps the plane could "fly" through the "O" in the LibreOffice-logo posted on the Wiki? I think that'd make it a great graphical enhancement for t-shirts and stuff like that without making the official logo unrecognisable.
