I saw the links you provided, but didn't manage to have a look at the 
video until yesterday: Thanks for your work!

In my eyes it is nearly OK - even with the green light it stands on it's 
own and stays visible and recognizable.

Perhaps you could have a bit more room between the symbol and the text 
below it - the distance to the "G" is smaller than half the width of the 
symbol.

The green light is inside the white space area too, but if Christoph 
doesn't object, I'd like to allow this as an exception (we should add 
"single case decision for special cases" to the wiki page [1]).

The background image is meant to be a background - just structured like 
linen. It's color is neither too dark for the colored logo, nor one of 
our accent colors (in fact it is quite near to the "Yellow 4" from our 
color scheme).

Even if the background becomes slightly darker behind the last two 
characters of LibreOffice, I think discrimination is still enough, so 
it's OK too.

CC'ing Christoph for his opinion.
