Thank you for the availability! Enjoy your days off! If there is no opposition I will commit both your logos mentioned on your other email https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/about_mseidel.png https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/intro_mseidel.png to branch 4.1.8 in location main/default_images/introabout to replace the current images.

Yes, aligning it would be (theoretically) a possibility, but in concrete terms there seems to be hardly enough space available. I uploaded a sketch, the text would have to be arranged imho within the red lines: http://calc-info.de/files/skizze.gif but the text would have to be quite small and I don't know if that is acceptable. A basic remark: would it be good to use two different logos (one for Splash-Screen and one for About-Box)? Or is that not the point at all? Yes, this remark extends the discussion (and makes it more difficult) but please understand my position - I _don't_ want to dominate the discussion with my opinion. So at the end of the discussion the _best technical_ (or optical) solution should be found and not a 'deal' just to not annoy anybody. > Would it be possible for you and Matthias to discuss this > off-list in German and reach an agreement? I would agree, but I know that Mathias won't talk to me. Therefore it is unfortunately not possible.

The reason for using the points spelling incorrectly is the intention to achieve the effect that could be described verbally with: "Open. For all. " -->the dot means "... PENG" in the meaning of how to write " PUNKT" in German to express that the "etwas" is a fact not to be discussed. "Since 20 years" -->the omission of the point (AFTER it was emphasized before) expresses now advertising psychology something like 'natural', in the sense that it is about something not ordinary, but which seems to be natural at the same time BECAUSE the whole thing (here OpenOffice) is so above average. (What I am trying to explain here has nothing to do with good, better, right ... but with (advertising) psychology, the fact that people react in a certain way to certain things (e.g. certain ways of writing).)

Hi all,
My apologies for a delayed response. Due file is available at the following
link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C8WAM7z5MEoW9VnLtwXBfqYGoPSTtbPN/view?usp=sharing
COMMENT
I studied Jörg's original proposal. It occured to me there should be a way
to gently move the focus from the otherwise important "Apache / Open
Office"
to Jorg's sound suggestion: "Open. For all. Since 20 years"
(short, dynamic, very catchy slogan - like the one by Ritter Sport:
"Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut.",
in English: "Square. Practical. Good.").
So I added two gray horizontal lines - source of which we all know (the
Start Center).
Position, thickness, type, length and colour of lines may depend on:
- the main block ("Apache / Open Office" OR the seagull logo with "Apache /
Open Office")
- the font size/colour combination for the slogan
- the visual context.
I didn't make my amateurish proposal public because I understood time
constraints, space constraints
and the need for a simple (but not simplistic), universal solution ( About
dialog and/or Splash Screen).
Regards,
Czesław

So the last step to produce a universal SVG would be to convert all the text to curves. Beware that this isn't reversible.

But if you ask for ideas and comments, my comment remains the already known suggestion from me (write the text in one line below the logo). For this I also discussed off-list with Czeslaw and he suggested a detail improvement which I liked very much and he understands my suggestion. Is it now worth to work it out? Maybe Czeslaw would be so kind to link his (already known to me) designs here on the list?
