Is ther any licensing issue using a Open license font? Was there any license issue in the past to use a closed source license, if so where is this clearance? Is there an advantage of having our own proprietary font (developed in-house). > just using inkscape drawing tools with out recourse to using fonts even as > a guide. > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.x+-+Logo+Explorations Do they need to reflect the same attitudes as the one shown on the wiki? global open transparent accessible clean strong...? Do we want to be more web-enabled, cloud, feather, social? (this from other conversations about making OO more social) Finally is there a template of proposals like: - font - visual element - logo - symbol - Application logo - Module logo (writer, calc, impress...) - Mime-logo (odt, ods, odp, odg..) - Design guidelines > > Cheers > GL > -- Alexandro Colorado PPMC Apache OpenOffice http://es.openoffice.org
