Social Networks
These services are hosted externally, but do use branding in profile pictures, etc. Some services use two images, one smaller one for an avatar, and another larger one for the profile page. Check the service documentation for specific size and aspect ratio requirements.

Branding Consistency
All branding collateral must correct refer to "Apache OpenOffice" and no longer as an incubation project. It is important we update discrepancies and keep this consistent.
All branding using a logo to represent the project must be the official logo which can be downloaded from the attachments on this page.
Choice of possible product names
The product naming of all software products that the ASF is hosting is "Apache Foo" where "Foo" is the part that we have to find. So the product name has to start with "Apache" and this is not changeable.
Proposed Name | Abbr. | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|---|
Apache OpenOffice.org | AOOo | We already have the trademark on "OpenOffice.org" | Too long - 8 syllables |
Apache OpenOffice | AOO | A shorter name that respects the project's roots | Apache Branding confirms this is legally supported and without obstacle worldwide. |
Apache Open Office | AOO | Of the options mentioned, this has the largest number of hits. | The concatenated form follows the historic trademark, adding a space will create confusion and discontinuity |
Apache Office | AO |
| No recognition that this is a software product, could be also understood as an official instance of the Apache Foundation. |
Apache Office Suite | AOS | An accurate description of the product |
