This icon is our branding and identification. We do not plan to change it. If
you want more colorful symbols on your desktop/dock you can easily exchange the
icon locally - or just place links to the modules there instead of the start
center.

The main LibreOffice Logo (the default icon) is not very attractive. It's
rather ok for a "flat design" icon in a black and white linux theme, but it's
not appealing at all and look rather empty (a white rectangle) for the general
user, if we compare it to the OpenOffice logo or microsoft office logo.

The individual icons for every program (writer, calc, draw) are looking good,
it's just the main logo which should get more colors and a stronger identity.

I don't see this a appropriate for the 4.4 releases, although issue of an
indistinct application icon is certainly present--it is just too late in that
branch release cycle to be changing it.

So, I like the idea of lifting the LibreOffice 5 design layout from the about
banner as the core of the primary application icon! No confusion there.

Agree it would be nice if the bit level and the branch could be displayed as
you have done. The Yellow for the release and green for bitness reads well. But
think the symbology for the 5.x would probably not be needed.

Down side to this is having to generate a release specific icon for each--but
once started should be simple enough to maintain.

It`s not a propose, I'm not a designer, only to show what I have done.

But it very well serve me, with more than a dozen of LibreOffice versions
installed. The image from welcome screen I think does a very readable icons.

If we can achieve a good mix of design and productivity, would be nice. Many
icons on desktop don't allow to know what they are at the first glance, even
they are pretty.

Screenshot with icons.

I have done my own desktop icons mainly to differentiate between some of the
installed versions, so I don't need to go over the icon and see their pop-up
text.

I think a some people has the stable and fresh installed, some way to
differentiate it could be nice.
