1. Exploring AOO-Identifiable Elements

2. The Essential Logo

2.1 Gulls-Centric Logo Proposal (Drew Jensen, started 2011-12-03)

Given the vote on the mailing lists it did indeed seem time to put together first drafts of AOO logo proposals.

Proposed AOO podling logo - Dec 3 

All text elements in the source file use the M+ font family, available under a free license, including for commercial use, license.

The font installation files are available on the web at: http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/index-en.html

Care was taken to, as best I could, create new art work in full compliance with the branding elements described here, OpenOffice.org Branding Guidelines draft

The original work is released under terms of the Apache 2.0 License.

Missing graphics - B/W and Grey scale, WEB and Print resolutions.

2.2 Additional Essential Logos

The full set of Essential-Logo proposals includes suggestions by Michael Acevedo and others. These are collected on the Essential Logo Proposals page.

3. Sidebar Occurrences

The install graphics will need updating, one simple solution - replace Oracle with AOO logo, leaving the OpenOffice.org logo in plce:

4. Plaques, Splashes, and Backgrounds

I had the idea to produce 4 plague type images as a way to explore merging the OO.o and AOO branding. I've finished one and started two more:

The first one is based on the poem, Dream catcher and includes the StarOffice butterfly.

The second one is based on a wall paper donation on the OO.o wiki from a number of years back and dealings with continuity - I've incorporated the ODF mime icons, and taken a bit of liberty with the final one in a pulsing ribbon - giving it just a touch of color.

Updated the image - little tweak to the text - and bring the StarOffice butterfly back once more. I would expect at least 2 more updates before the week is out - then on to number 3

Drafts using a "script" font created in inkscape.  It's a graphic rather than a line of text so no font license concerns

Various colours and BGs using some traditional bugs such as the birds.

Icons and Insignias

There are sets of icons and related insignias used in the software, in file systems, and on web sites.

The Old ones preceded the ones in monochrome grey tones. They may be used in initial builds until a new set of colored icons is agreed upon.

The ODF-Grey symbols use a grey shaded image with a panel that has a bright "ODF" sign. When the symbol is used for a non-ODF format, the panel is present but empty (plain grey).
