I tried to edit the wiki on my phone, but it just wasn't working out.
Anyway...

My vote: Right.  I'm not crazy about the extended "f" crossbar or the
right-angle shape the crossbar makes with the "i".  I appreciate the effort
and hope this isn't the end of this conversation.  The logo should change as
the project does. I'm just not convinced this idea is ready for use quite
yet.

Hey,

okay, I've tried to set up a voting page for us, see here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Joey/Ligatures

<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Joey/Ligatures>Do you all have
write access to this page? I am not that experienced with wikis.

@Bernhard: I've shifted the i more to the left. I've also redone the
visual
kerning for some of the letters; have a look at the scaled-down versions,
it
"should" look more even now.

@all: It would be great if you voted on the wiki or here on the mailing
list. Even if you disapprove of this poll it would be great to get some
more
opinions on this; so far it's only five people who talk about it.

Thanks,
Joey

PS: I'll be away until Wednesday next week.

Hi Joey, all,

replying to both of your mails, so please scroll down until the end...

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:

It's impossible to see the different alternatives, because at my computer
the background is nearly black.

Ii updated the image with a slightly lighter grey background, so you can
see the different alternatives, but keep the white text of the poll
results.

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.


People seem to like the last alternative (with "f" bow bent towards the
"i"
dot) as much as the original.

Even if this is far from being representative, I'd like to see a
finalized
version of this proposal.

Could you improve this by moving the "i" nearer to the "f"? I don't think
that equal spacing for the dot between "f" and "i" looks best...

Perhaps a combination of your third an my proposal?


Greetings,
Joey

Hey Bernhard,

2011/3/2 Bernhard Dippold<bernhard@familie-dippold.at>

In your reply to my last mail I understood you in a way that you wanted
to

work on a new proposal.

I added a third alternative (which I don't like very much). The logos
on my
page are only drafts; if we decide on one of them, I'll spend more time
on
it. At the moment I don't have another idea how to deal with the
ligature
-
do you? I'd be more than glad to try another one.


Like your poll members I like this proposal best, but it needs some more
tweaking (I mentioned above).

I don't think that there are so many alternatives to modify the two "f"
and
the "i", so I don't have any other reliable alternative in mind.



[...]


But what we need to keep in mind: Changes being recognized by the
average

user / viewer will more likely be postponed until a new major or minor
version
than modifications leading "only" to a more balanced, professional and
consistent visual impression.

+1, I agree.


In my eyes proposals (c) and (d) might fall in the "balanced" category,
while (a) and (b) would be more recognizable as modified details.

Who has the final word on that?


The SC, but they probably support a decision by the Design Team.

Best regards

Bernhard
