If we consider the icons highly related to branding, then yes. If there
are just examples for how we applied the branding guidelines, then a
link to this resource might be better.

I remember that Nik once mentioned some issues with the green color
within the motif. So, phew, I really had to dig in my mail archive to
find the mail by Nik ... basically it is about the green accent color
that should be updated:
http://www.mail-archive.com/design@libreoffice.org/msg01303.html

So in the current case, the motif and the branding colors should be
already aligned - great!

But, there is still the open question whether we want to change the
branding colors to something more established in the FLOSS world - e.g.
Tango? But I'd like to address this in my next reply ...

Okay, although I'd like to ask whether we want to to have branding
guidelines for TDF and / or LibreOffice. At the moment, the branding is
the same.

Oh, I added some points to the branding page - if anybody wants to add
some more, please check and edit:
