Here is a comparison of original Orb taken from Stella's site compared
to my version of SVG.

Unfortunately it was very hard to recreate everything, the shadows and
also counter glow on the lower part of the sphere are not identical
and also some color gradiance might be slightly unsaturazied.

Still Gulls are the right size and maybe some node cleanups might be
necesary but proportions are correct.

Well  a very good effort!  I saw we had

  http://www.openoffice.org/images/AOO_logos/orb.jpg

and moved it to AOO_logos.

I will see what else I can find when I get a moment...either on the
MediaWiki or elsewhere. This IS the orb used in our current logo,
though...the one imacat asked about.

I understand, however this is a rasterized image and hard to adapt to
any size proportion, I am trying to get either a 99% exact copy on SVG
so that we could get this on native XML/SVG/Canvas source and start
documenting the guidelines for creating the 'orb'.

At the same time, this is a bit uncertain since other conversations
are about pushing for a new logo which could potentially make this
work irrelevant. I will keep working on the orb I provided, and see if
I can get a generalize approval from the community.

Well, it seems a new logo will be postponed for now. I think there is some opinion that it should wait until a new major release.

So, I would suggest to continue your efforts at reproducing the orb.


At the moment the only real documentation is on the OpenOffice.org
brand refresh, and even if there has been a new logo(Incubator), it
was somewhat mounted on the original Oracle brand refresh (color
palette and such). There is also not much documentation on the
application and mime-type guidelines design, or unified ODF.

I also wonder which is the name of the typeface of the "Apache
OpenOffice" and if there any native SVG. The one I found was just a
Jpg wrapped inside an SVG file, no vectors/nodes/etc.

Yes, I'm afraid we are lacking in technicalities with some our graphics. I don't know what else I can say about this. It's coem up before.

The picture all are good.

For me it will be a difficult choice. (:
