Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: 4.0 Branding and Out of Scope Designs

2013-01-23 Thread Pawel Konefal
Branding guidelines are strict, because it is not good to change
branding often - especially, if current branding is not bad. There is
a popular proverb that people don't like [big] changes. For me,
current branding is perfect, but 4.0 release is BIG event, so there's
a need to make brand update.

One more thing: does 4.0 will have new (slightly changed) file types icons?

Greetings,
Paweł

 I want the the brand guidelines less strict, too.
 I prefer bright and colorful splash screen, but it seems not easy to creat
 one under this guidelines.

  You can exclude my proposal. As I said, I'm not a designer so I
  couldn't
  care less.

 You shouldn't be angry (¡el que se enoja pierde! :-) but I agree that
 the brand guidelines should be less strict. A thing to improve for
 4.1? :-)

No.

It's true that rebranding was an unfortunate choice of words.
Basically, we just wanted to refresh the splash, the about dialog, and the
welcome screen. While that's not clear from the page title, it should be
clear from the scope.

It's hard to change the branding guidelines, as that would require
unanimous agreement from not just the design team, but the marketing and
website teams and the board of directors as well, and it would require
redoing a lot of the website artwork.

[libreoffice-design] Re: New DONATE Button -- help from design group in India

2013-01-23 Thread Marc Paré
For anyone following this thread, there was a mix-up on my part and this 
thread is all about a new DONATE button for the download page. Somehow, 
the terms got mixed up into the correspondence.


I have sent my apologies to the Indian group as well as Mirek for the 
mix-up. My apologies to the design list as well for the confusion.


There will be a follow-up on this later.

Cheers,

Marc
