I like the way you reused the triangle for the "A" - and the rest of the 
line fits very well with the triangle due to the special font you used.

Together with the large triangle at the upper right and the tight 
connection among the lines of text it provides an impression of compact 
power and strength.

I like this kind of logos - but what they convey is different from the 
feeling I get when looking at the LibreOffice logo and branding.

For me LibreOffice is light and open. It wants to be inclusive and 
really "libre". I don't know if you understand what I mean.

Our branding - the logo with bold green and regular grey letters, the 
document symbol and icons with rounded corners and small borders as well 
as the Scatter motif - creates a certain branding language. I'd like to 
see this language and the "look-and-feel" it provides be consistent 
among all the official design being used to represent LibreOffice.

Even if you used the colors and the font of our branding, your design 
doesn't match exactly what I think is important to keep our design 
consistent.

As said above: I really like your design. But it is a bit different from 
what I think should be used as official LibreOffice branding.

This is just my personal opinion - I hope I have been able to describe 
my thoughts in an understandable way.

If others here feel different, please comment on Tobias' design or on my 
posting.

We are on the way of creating our branding - it's now that we can adjust 
it's direction and goals, if we think we need such adjustment.,,

Best regards

Bernhard
