Hello everyone, I have been involved since several years now at OOo and played an active role in the rebranding of OOo and in creating a strong guideline for the logo. The icons was something different. I learned a lot of things, good things and bad things. I agree to learn from the mistakes that were made at OOo and we should take this opportunity to create an even stronger and consistent brand without sacrificing user experience or usability.
First, we should have a solid base to start from, like values and goals for the project. When this is made clear within the community, we can start a branding project were people can post suggestions and samples of how the new logo should look like. We should take 4 weeks until the last proposal can be submitted. Then we have to look which design reflects these values and goals of the community the most. That design can be the base for the creation of a permanent logo. The logo can then be adapted and changed until we have reached a consensus about the final look of it. And of course, like some mentioned earlier: branding is something that is always in progress and is never finished. Of course, this is just my personal view on how to handle this. Please feel free to comment your opinion about this idea. -- Regards, Ismaël Grammenidis -- 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
