I don't think that these people need a logo - they need a button or 
something similar.

A subline might be reasonable for dedicated groups to describe their 
position in relation to the community / TDF.

- "community member" after approval by the membership committee.
- "community distributor" after agreement to some distribution rules.
- "xxx team member" if there is a way to define a team (not sure about that)

In my opinion these logos can be used to reward activity and dedication to 
the community. Being a "supporter" is too vague for me...

A button "I support LibreOffice" is definitively a very good option, but it needs
to be designed in a way that respects the whitespace area around the logo.

Yes - I just haven't had the time to create them.

Yes - but I'd like to see it with the grey tone of the contemporary logo instead 
of the pure black.

And we need CMYK vector versions as well as spot color descriptions 
(Pantone, HKS ...).

I wanted to have at least anything as resource to use.

As we have much more to do right now, I would wait for people asking for 
special versions of the logo before spending time with creating additional
versions nobody really needs at the moment.

We might have an improved version of the logo soon - so I don't think it is 
worth the time to create all the versions right now.

We should offer our standard logo for easy download. But except of an 
inverted logo for dark backgrounds I'd like to point people to this mailing
list, if they want to use different versions.

If somebody has the time and interest to work on this topic, he/she is 
welcome to create even more logo versions.

In the end we'll have all the versions you mentioned, but I want to 
concentrate on IMHO more important topics - and as they include the
logo improvement (Joey mentioned kerning and ligatures) this work 
might have to be repeated soon.

Best regards

Bernhard
