Re: [libreoffice-design] Call for proposals: New Document

Hi Mirek,

I like your new document icon, but I think you should move a little the +
logo (to have the same space horizontally and vertically between '+' logo
and the document). I will try to make that this week (I'm one my tablet
actually, in the train, it's impossible !)

 I can see what Mirek is trying to say with confusing the icons with
 different function. we know what it stands for because the proposal is for
 a New Document icon. but new users may not understand what each icon
 means, and putting the logo into the icon makes it more easily
 understandable of what it does. I saw nothing wrong with Tobias icon till
 Mirek said that it could be a new rectangle or page. maybe it the icon had
 the fold in the page as we are all used to, but that may also be
 interpreted as a new page and not a new document.

 It's LibreOffice's document icon.
 I don't think it will change anytime soon.


That's not what I meant. I just wanted to point out that the icon doesn't
neccessarily have to look like the Libreoffice logo.
To show what I mean I've done some quick drafts for all the new file
icons.

I don't really see the harm in using the current symbol for a document
(which uses the LibreOffice logo as its base; the LibreOffice logo itself
represents a digital file).
The logo carries the message that you're creating a new LibreOffice
document, whereas a simple rectangle could be interpreted as new page,
add rectangle/add media (depending on whether it's empty), new file
(generic), etc.

Nevertheless, you're welcome to add your proposals to the wiki page:

I also don’t think that is necessary to include LibreOffice’s logo
into the New Document icon.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Call for proposals: New Document

2012-03-29 Thread Tobias Bernard
Why does the sheet have to have a Libreoffice logo outline?
IMO that's unneccessarliy complex. A rectangle would do the same job and
that'd fit the minimalistic style better.
Also, I think using the logo of an app inside the app is redundant since it
already appears in panels, docks etc.
If I find the time this week, I'll do a suggestion.

kind regards
Tobias

[libreoffice-design] Call for proposals: New Document

2012-03-26 Thread Mirek M.
Since Bold/Italic icons get another week of discussion and Text Color,
Highlight Color icons have been put on hold until the representation of
text is decided, I've decided to introduce another call for proposals in
the meantime.
It's a single icon and a relatively simple task. There's nothing you'd have
to design, you just have to take the LibreOffice document icon, Android's
plus symbol, and tweak them to make them work in black-and-white on a 48x48
pixel grid.

I've put up my old proposal, although I still plan to tweak it (not
satisfied with the plus icon).
Ivan, you also put up a proposal a while ago: Application_New-Document.svg.
Submit it if you'd like and please label it with a license.

Thanks. :)
