IMO, the paper page is not a metaphor we should extend too much. The Document Foundation/LibO logo is fine because it's close to the actual symbol used for representing a wide variety of digital data formats. However, a paper plane takes the metaphor too literally. LibreOffice is a digital product; we're supposed to be living in the paperless age (it's not the reality, I know, but it's not a bad thing to aspire to). Linking the brand too closely with physical paper links it with the past. I don't think there are many people out there who will embrace a paper-based mascot (it won't be warm and cuddly - it'll give you papercuts!) - Ivan. -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
