Re: [libreoffice-design] Rebranding result

Well. This mail is a bit difficult. I took a look at the design. It IS 
a non standard logo on a white background.
There are two major issues.
* the logo is NOT the standard logo. You're using an old one from 2010.
* I don't have much to say for the startscreen, but honestly... the 
splashscreen is something I could have done myself and I'm a profound 
idiot when it comes to design. This looks bad, unfinished, and I 
obviously do not have the documented rationale for your choice, but it's 
a bit like any other choice would have been better.

I am very worried about this choice (again, I'm constraining my comment 
to the splashscreen), I'm worried for our image, I'm worried for the 
impression millions of people are going to get every time they'll start 
LibreOffice.

I would like to thank you all for your contributions, I know it's not 
easy and we all have lives outside here, but somebody must have gotten 
really tired or something.

I don't even want to suggest what to do at this point, what process to 
follow, I don't want to choose for the team as it would be disrepectful 
(and this mail is disrespectful enough already) but I can't shut up on 
that one. Please reconsider or do something. It's terrible.

Thanks,

Charles.
