I think one of the last comments summed up everything nicely: 

"I think it is important to allow any artist and designer to work in the
way (s)he likes best. But it's important at the same time to work on a
consistent and professional branding and visual identity. 

"Combining these goals is not easy - but it is crucial if we consider
our LibreOffice design as one of the goals to reach more users and
contributors."

One issue is there a need for local variations while keeping a
recognizable brand and identity. I think the slogan used might vary
because an English slogan may make no sense in another language.
