The motif is meant to become a central part of our branding, but I don't 
think it should be handled like the icons.

The guidelines Nik provided on the Motif page
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Motif)
already cover the intended use quite well IMHO.

The motif should be used not only as a whole, but in parts and cut-off, 
so whitespace rules don't make really sense.

But we should look at it's consistency  - and when someone finds out 
about a usage that might not follow our general branding language, 
please tell us, so we can try to define better rules.

Best regards

Bernhard
