2. Orb-Centric Logo Proposals (Michael Acevedo, started 2012-01-06)

2.1 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#1

The first logo proposal takes a cue from the current Apache OpenOffice podling logo however, it reduces the Apache name into a smaller font size and places it on top of the OpenOffice name. In addition, it replaces the seagulls on top of the "Open" and reinstates the OpenOffice blue orb seagull logo. Overall, logo #1 keeps the familiarity of the current OpenOffice.org logo while complying with the Apache branding guidelines.

2.2 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#2

The second alternative logo proposal moves the Apache word and places it in front of the OpenOffice blue orb logo. The Apache word font size is also increased to the same size of the OpenOffice word. Overall the logo remains unchanged, but logo #2 highlights Apache more prominently as the main sponsor of the project than logo #1.

2.3 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#3

The third alternative logo is similar to Logo Proposal #1 but adds the "Incubating" tagline below the OpenOffice name, as per Apache requirements.

2.4 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#4

The fourth alternative logo is similar to Logo Proposal #2 but adds the "Incubating" tagline directly below the OpenOffice name, as per Apache requirements.

2.5 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#5

The fifth alternative logo radically refreshes the OpenOffice logo by placing the seagull orb as the "O" in the word "Open". In addition it puts the Apache feather under the Apache name. I'ts a refreshing look of the project's logo while retaining some of the commonality of the legacy OpenOffice.org logo.

2.6 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#6

The sixth alternative logo returns the with the format of logo #2 but reduces the size of the Apache name and puts the organization's iconic feather below it. Other logo items remain relatively unchanged. It is a good compromise between logos 2 & 5 and still looks refreshing.

2.7 Orb Centric Proposal Logo

...

#7

The seventh alternative is similar to logo #6 but the word "office" is now in all CAPS. In addition, the "office" word has been stylized based on a verdana font. This may be the basis for the next release of Apache Open Office v4.0. but can be also used Apache OpenOffice 3.4 and onwards.

2.7 Orb Centric Proposal Logo #8

Image Added

The eight alternative uses a different font (as verdana might have some proprietary issues) and uses a format similar to logo #1. The new font is called "alphabet" and is open. The design of the font gives the logo a much more modern take on the project's current logo. In addition, it moves the Apache feather under the "incubating" word.
