Re: [PROPOSAL] New Apache OpenOffice 4 logo proposals...

Michael, Thanks for you continuous working on it! While honestly, I feel the latest design little different than the current 3.4.x logo. I'm not a designer, so I only describe what in my mind: maybe we can simply (perhaps not so simple...) try to make stronger 3D effect to the orb, adding mo

Re: [PROPOSAL] New Apache OpenOffice 4 logo proposals...

Armin, I decided to change the color of the rounded square from black to the AOO orb blue color and take out the circles of the suites components, and the blue background of the gull rings. The result, a clean looking logo without the rings (for those that dislike them), that looks modern. You can

Hi Michael, thanks for the continued work, I like it more than the prev ones. Still, for my taste, it is too complicated. I honour to try to add information about the available applications, but - for a logo, it's too complicated. The big plus with the orb is it's *simplicity* from my POV.
