I'll just add this that I posted to the discuss list. Sorry, everything on so few lists is getting harder to keep track of As a general comment, I am impressed as hell with the logo and the Docu bug, it's simple, strong, indicative, unique and instantly recognisable. If I had one criticism is that the Docu bug would be better as a grey rather than black. The black on white background is a little harsh. I note that this has been obvious to the creators as well because the Docu bug always seems to be displayed on light grey BG which diffuses that harshness. A CMYK value of around 10.0.0.44. looks good and from a visual marketing POV has a more sophisticated reliable and modern feel. A proposal here http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOfficeLogoMod_yo.png "Silver" and Green would be a good combination in the logo imho. In combination these invoke trustworthiness, efficiency and reliability. The lighter green also gives the brand freshness. cheers GL -- Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html OpenOffice.org Migration and training Consultant.
