Would it be reasonable to upload the source and/or a high res bitmap of 
the card to the wiki and link it to the existing design page?

The Branding page needs an overhaul - it is quite outdated in my eyes.

Not only the motif is lacking there - the icons should be reachable from 
there too.

I would like to see different pages for logo (including font), icons, 
motif and derived resources for download, while general information on 
branding and perhaps the colors should stay on the main entry page 
together with graphical links for the single items.

I don't understand what you want to do:

Do we have to adapt the LibO colors to the motif?
Are they different?

Do we want to mention gradients between Green 1 and white as "officially 
approved" colors?

Please help me to understand...

Best regards

Bernhard

PS: If we start working on the branding page, it should be moved from
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding to
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Branding
(at least in my understanding we should avoid subpages - especially for 
pages important for more than one category - and set the relevant 
categories instead)
