Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Are there icons and banners to use on the documentation blog?
Hi John, all I can't work on the topic at the moment - anybody else? Perhaps some brainstorming about the questions I already posted...

[...] It would appear that the icons would be available only from the documentation blog. That should let the user know the icons link to the documentation blog only. There will be different blogs (marketing for example), so we need some special blog icons for the different blogs. The requirements are for two images, one a cover image and one that as described, sounds like a splash screen. I quote from the wordpress.com iPad OnSwype section of the settings for the documentation blog, * Cover Logo -For best results use a 200×200px transparent PNG This would be quite large - perhaps we can include all the information I mentioned... Launch Screen Image Readers can add your site to their iPad’s home screen for quick access from an app-like icon. The launch screen image is briefly displayed after your site is opened from an iPad home screen icon, before the cover image appears. And this I can't understand at all. Does anybody with an iPad can describe what happens? - There is an icon on the iPad, called home screen icon? - What does it show? How does it open a website? - Can it be linked to any image, changing it's visual appearance? - The large icon (preview? Splash screen?) is shown just for a few seconds, and then the cover image appears. - Is the cover image the same as the cover logo? - Why doesn't is sits on the desktop all the time? Use a PNG exactly 768×1004px * There is an option to use a cover image or not. (This would display a recent post from the blog) So the cover image is a recent blog posting? Does the cover image contain the cover logo? Sorry, I can't imagine. Is there any iPad image around with such an image? What do you think? Is this do-able? If we understand how they are used, it should be possible - but not by me at the moment. I have to prioritize the work stacked before me...

Wordpress will use those icons for IPad users to display the blog webpage. Wordpress will allow an iPad user to have a link to the site on their desktop like an app. LibreOffice does not work on iOS yet, but it does work on OSX. I can resize any graphics that have been approved, to fit the requirements of wordpress. Are there graphics we can use? Apart from the Marketing/Branding page you mentioned, it would be a good idea to post to the Design team's list, where - as Jean said - Bernard and co can suggest and validate graphics, colors and other aspects. HTH. Thanks for pointing here, as we haven't been able to finish the work on our galleries containing graphical resources for internal and external visual representation of LibreOffice: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Visual_Elements [...] We're working on the libodocs.wordpress.com blog for the documentation team. We're looking for graphics to use on the blog for iPad users. Can you help? If I understand you right, you need an icon to be used on iPad desktops as direct link to the documentation blog http://libodocs.wordpress.com/ Do you want to use a similar icon on the blog itself? While on the blog it would be no problem to use the main application icon (like this one: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-list-icon.png), for iPads the question is a bit different: We need to avoid some misinterpretations: 1) The icon does not open LibreOffice locally on the iPad. 2) The icon does not link to the official LibreOffice homepage. 3) The icon does not link to the main LibreOffice blog. So the icon needs to identify the link target as - web based - being a blog - dedicated to the documentation team. Adding some graphics inside the document symbol could interfere with the branding guidelines (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding), because the application icons is just a refined symbol from the logo. For such a dedicated design it would be important to know the size of other icons on iPad, so we can include the possibility for more or less details our ideas and drafts. Does anybody know about the size for standard iPad application icons?
