And when we're at it: Can we sit down and make a LibO logo contest? With a deadline? I suggest the following:
1) Have a contest for a general mockup, this includes * Logo symbol * Logo text (see issue I already mentioned, we need the text path to be refined somehow) * Icons for files and applications * (Mascot) The deadline for this part should be something like in two weeks or so, mainly because we already have so many great ideas but they're somehow spread a bit too far away. Then we decide upon the general elements. Paper plane or book as symbol (just examples), which logo text etc. will all be decided by vote. I'm not sure how that can be done on a mailing list but I'm sure someone of you has an idea for that. 2) Have an actual logo contest Now that we have the elements, we want the people to make great artwork out of it. This includes the same things as before: * Logo, different versions (color, grayscale, black, inverted), different formats (small, square?, only symbol) * Icons The deadline for this second part should be something like two further weeks along. We could also attract more artists in participating here - I think it is not bad for your reputation as an artist if YOUR logo is being used in such an application. I'd really appreciate some feedback on these ideas of mine. If you think this is a good idea I can set up a wiki page with the guidelines.
