I agree with Robin. We spend the final weeks writing points and that's good but i thing it's time to move on. The best way is some of the oldest contributors to choose 3 logos that they like and then be a vote. After the final decision all of the designers can send some improvements to the selected (colors, elements etc) and get to the final version. By the way. I am a mac user and i see that the current open office logo (that i like a lot) get lost in the bar cause most of the logos of others have a similar blue color (word, itunes, toast, fusion, mail, finder, safari even the folders . I think that must be reconsider. See how Adobe icons stand out.
