Hi Rob, Dave, et al I think it makes a lot of sense to have some artwork in the way of both 'official' logos and 'preferred use' artwork for other sites to use when linking. So, - put together another treatment - These keep the gulls and bring back some of the other OOo 3 design elements, the wireframe wings and the color dots. Just two sizes 300x100 and 120x60 px examples for the moment and a compressed file with 4 png files and 2 source SVG (inkscape) files. Added them to the wiki at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Logo+Proposals I like the designs with the orb involved also. Anyway - I'd like to put some time into this then over this weekend and really would enjoy bouncing ideas back and forth with folks, on any of the designs. //drew
