Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-design] ligatures in the logo [was: LibO logo]

Hey,

to gather some more opinions I thought it would be a good idea to have a
poll somewhere else, so I asked people in a forum to cast their vote.
Although I don't know whether this was a good idea (not really
representative, game design forum, so people might be programmers) I thought
you might be interested in the results:

<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Poll.png>Apparently noone likes the
too fancy ligatures. Most people also complained about the logo in general,
so I tried to explain why this is (and remains, for now) the logo of LibO.
If you're interested in the comments, too, I'll send you the link.
So... in the next days I'll make some final drafts and put up a voting page.
If you have some final ideas please tell me.

Greetings,
Joey
