Re: [libreoffice-design] icon proposal (draft)

What I don't get, though, is, when you've already finished the icons some
time ago - as it seems - then why are they not used in the official 3.3
release of LibO?
And another thing (don't get me wrong here, I really only want to know where
we are atm): the current logo. Is it "the" final version?
