- New features for LibreOffice 6?
- Marketing Strategy, what's the selling point for 6.0?

[libreoffice-design] Branding for LibreOffice 6.0

2017-03-20 Thread Heiko Tietze
Hello everyone,

the next major update of LibreOffice is planned for Q1/2018. That makes it 
necessary to start the design work now. With the experience from the last 
process I want to try something different this time: to ask the Open Source 
Design group for a professional visual design 
(https://github.com/opensourcedesign). We should request at least two variants 
in order to involve our community (despite the fact that we blog with a 
reference to OSD and everybody can contribute early), where users choose their 
preferred design later. And I would add a tough timeline to the request so that 
we can run a plan B if anything fails.

We should also improve ourself on how to start a request. Designers usually 
work well with a clear goal and a few constraints, such as metaphors, ideas 
around the product etc. And that's what I want to ask for in this mail.

My rough proposal:

Task:
* New motif (Question: Or do we want to keep the triangles rather than moving 
forward to hexagons?)
  + Current design
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Visual_Elements
* Applying the motif to new splash screen / banner (661x169px)
  + Current design
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding
  + Previous ideas
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Playground/Splash_screen
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding/Banner_Proposals 
* Applying the motif to flyers, stickers etc. 
  + Current flyers
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gallery_Flyers
* (Can we technically introduce a new progress bar and do we want to? There is 
a proposal https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Chin_Zee_Yuen)
* (What else?)

Restriction
* Follow guidelines for colors and branding
  + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding
* Create at least two ideas that can be presented to the community
* Finish the job until end of July 2017
* Use open data format or at least SVG
(What else?)

Metaphors (i.e. For what stands LibreOffice?)
* Transparency, Sustainability, Freedom
* Community
* MUFFIN
* Green
* Six, hexagon, ...

Any comments are welcome, of course. I understand no reply as silent acceptance 
and would start the request by end of this week.

Best wishes,
Heiko
