Having thought about it some more, I think it is undesirable to use ODF as an identifier in the icons that are established by specific products.
We are confusing application association and format. Furthermore, if there is to be an agreement on such icons as generic to the format, it should be arrived at as a wider agreement than one made within OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice projects. This thread is about OOo branding, and collapsing that onto a matter of ODF "branding" is troublesome for me. Anything about ODF should be product-agnostic. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Andrea Pescetti [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 06:39 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Suggestion for OOo branding...

To add to the links already seen in other messages, the OpenOffice.org community (actually, the names in the "iTeam" were all from Oracle, even though everyone could join) was (is?) working at a redesign described in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ODF_icons_i-team http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ODF_Icon_Redesign However, that was still a bit unsatisfactory for the community at large, since it didn't address the color problem (see mockups and guidelines at the links above).
