I like the blue "paper stack" version. Looks clean and professional and
does not include any birds.
I don't like the first one at all (military medal?) unless we want to go
for world domination with AOO 5.0.

Hello All,
I have create an AOO 4.0 Logo Exploration page at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.x+-+Logo+Explorations
.
Please capture you thoughts related to brand attributes and visual
elements that represent the brand attributes.
Also, feel free to include any rough concept sketches. No wrong answers
here, let brainstorm for a while.
Regards,
Kevin

Michael,
Thanks for sharing the logo mockups. Also, I appreciate you
acknowledging
my earlier contributions - most gracious.
With AOO 3.4 just hitting the streets, now is the time to think about
performing some design research and explorations in support of
branding for
AOO 4.0.
Perhaps you could create an AOO 4.0 logo concepts page on the wiki to
capture these great ideas. I also have a number of concepts that I
would
like to share with you and others for input.
Maybe we can do a logo contest similar to the one Apache Flex did?
http://incubator.apache.org/**flex/logo-contest.html<http://incubator.apache.org/flex/logo-contest.html>
I'm a mentor on Apache Flex. That contest was very fun, generated more
email on flex-dev than you would believe. There were over 50 different logo
submissions submitted from everyone including professional design firms and
hobbyists. I am very impressed with the design talent in the Flex community.
If we would like to do this then I would gladly go to the flex lists
with the contest form. If we do such a contest then we should ask for at
least these designs.
That sounds like a great idea. I looked a while ago through most of the
contest entries and was impressed by a lot of them. But then again, I am
not a lawyer^H^H^H^H^H^H designer.

(1) Logo - including dark and light treatments.
(2) Web Banner treatment - with room for differing NL text.
(3) Presentation template.
(4) Application splash screen.
(5) Icon.
Maybe not all at once, but we should make it clear that the intention
would be that the winner would provide the designs and enough guidance for
us to proceed.
Regards,
Dave
-Andre
In addition, I suggest we capture some background material on the
intent of
the visual identity. With new AOO contributors and an ever evolving
product
landscape we may want to revisit the message, positioning and emotions
that
the identity is looking to realize. This effort should be in concert
with
any and all AOO business and marketing efforts.
Some thoughts...
Regards,
Kevin

Interesting! Seems reminiscent of the Mac square smiley-face logo.
It looks like you could make a go at a square logo there, which would
be a
useful addition.
I suggest we go slow with changing main logos, because they are not
for
showing our creativity but to show continuity to a public with short
attention spans.
Cheers,
Wolf

Hi,
I have decided to move forward and give you an early preview of how I
think
we should move for the logo of Apache OpenOffice 4 which I think is
the
general consensus of the next major release of our project pending
Apache
approval. The logos I am proposing are basically the same but there
are a
few modifications to the current logo. Below is a description:
AOO Next Logo Changes:
- The AOO Next logo has a smaller spacing between the letters and
changes the word "Apache" to "APACHE" in caps (idea taken from
Kevin
Gringon's proposal in the Wiki).
- The color of the "APACHE" word is now gray (idea taken from Kevin
Gringon's Proposal in the Wiki).
- Integration of the "AOO" initials (for one of the logo
proposals).
- Retirement of the Orb logo and substituting it with a refined
concept
of the previous OOo logo prior verson 3.2.1. I did this new icon
in a
conservative manner and I think it will fit best the next release
of
AOO
as
it will match with the post AOO 3.4 Application (Writer, Impress,
Calc,
etc.) icons. The new logo makes a nod to the post-PC era when it
comes
to
how an application icon now looks in our devices.
- Keep some commonality with the current Orb Centric logo by
keeping
the
name of the suite with the current font that is being used for our
site's
logo.
Without further waiting, I present to you my logo proposal for AOO 4.

Hope you like it and suggestions are welcomed. I would like to credit
Kevin
Gringon for the changes in terms of font spacing in the word
"OpenOffice"
and the "APACHE" word capitalization suggestions.
