Sorry, that I didn't find the time to do it.

This task is not as easy as it looks like, because we have to 
distinguish between external usage and approval of a logo as part of the 
official TDF/LibreOffice community.

For external use your logo doesn't follow the branding guidelines in 
several points:

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Guidelines_and_Best_Practices

1.) Adding an additional graphic inside the document symbol should be 
avoided.

2.) The distance to other text/graphics around the symbol should be half 
of the width of this symbol.

3.) The distance around the logo words should be larger too (we didn't 
include it in the branding guidelines by now, but I think about 
something like the height of the "i" body).

4.) For external usage the TDF subline should be avoided.


If you want to use the logo for official representation of the Spanish 
speaking TDF/LibreOffice community, there are other points to be taken 
into account:

1.) The color of the "Ñ" is not the official LibreOffice green. Same 
seems to be true for "Comunidad hispana".

2.) The blurred shadow is not part of our branding language.

3.) The symbol shading is neither the one from the contemporary logo nor 
from the icons.

4.) Relation in size between symbol and logo text is very different from 
our official logo.


Is there a chance to get the Spanish designers to work collaboratively 
together with us?

Like Christoph said in your other thread, I'd like to see the 
native-lang teams use the official logo with an addition for the team 
instead of approving a totally different logo even if it consists of 
some of our branding elements.

So for the moment I have to vote with

-1

for this request.

Best regards

Bernhard
