I marked your request as one of the most urgent tasks to do - sorry for 
not replying earlier.

Do you want to add these avatars on our homepage or at other places on 
Internet?

I don't want such an avatar used as personal identifying graphics in 
e.g. facebook, when it might be misinterpreted as official spokesperson 
of out community/TDF.

Therefore we'll probably need different graphics / avatars.

For avatars on our website we could use the new icon for the main LibO 
application (being available in 48x48 and just to be extracted from the 
SVG file in 64x64)

I'd rather like to see one unified graphical scheme to spread our 
branding in a consistent way than different visual languages in 
different color schemes.

I can imagine one set of branded artwork on light background (white and 
green) and another on dark background (green? grey? black? ...). Perhaps 
something like the design kick-off graphic?

But it will take a few days to define the "main" theme among the design 
team.

Please do, Ron, if you want to (and everybody else too):

This would give us a chance to define our "official style" based on 
visual mockups.

We definitely need such a page (or a gallery of pages) where people can 
download the artwork they need.

Did you have a look at the structure provided at OOo?

I provided a place for "official" artwork at the website
[ http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/official_galleries.html ] and 
another one for "additional" artwork (not or not yet approved by the 
design team) at the wiki
[ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery ].

Do you think something like that would be reasonable here too?

We'll have to define the theme first, but then we'll provide all 
necessary graphics in the team :-)

As the most pressing time is (nearly) over, that's one of our next steps...

Same from my side - Thank you very much for both of your banners.

(I'll comment on the new one later - hopefully today...)
