While I agree that Urmas exaggerated, I was surprised by the number of
designs that included some hint of the Windows scheme. While I use Windows
and am happy with it, it seems to me that one of OO's "selling" points is
that it is cross-platform. Incorporating hints of one operating system in
the logo doesn't advertise the cross-platform nature of OO.
That said, there were several very good designs in the survey that did not
include the Windows hints. I particularly liked the designs with the feather
and globe icon, as well as those incorporating the doves as ends of a book.
Very creative and descriptive of the extent of OOs breadth.

And there was no better ideas that copycatting MSO 4-tile logo,
metro'izing it and
throwing in some chicken feathers? The whole gallery save 1-2 images is
like that.
The "whole gallery save 1-2" eh. You're pretty good at over-exaggeration,
that or
you didn't pay very good attention in school during the time you were
supposed to
be learning to count.
With all those donations one could suppose a real designer will be
employed to
create a keystone image. Unless someone is planning to get it off soon and
not
invest in it targeting next decade or more.
Well, c'mon then Mr. Artiste! Get with it and make something and
contribute! We
won't hold our breath waiting for it though.
