Christoph, I absolutely agree that we need to have consistent branding throughout - same icons should be used both in the application and the website. However, I feel that the current jigsaw puzzle icon does not fit well with the beautiful icons we have for LibO applications. As you say, it is a great chance to correct the mistake from the past. I think we should not stop simply at bringing consistency across application and website but should go ahead and incorporate a new icon for extensions that fits well with the current application icons.

Hi Andreas, hi Vamsi, mmh ... seems I've used a wrong email address yesterday, therefore again and sorry for the inconvenience.

Wouldn't it be better to make the LibO main branding a bit stronger? By the way, how will the site itself be called? Instead of a site logo, how about putting emphasis on the single items? For example: at OOo we made the fault to confuse the users how extensions are visualized. On the extension site, we had some kind of yellow Sputnik, all the icons within LibreOffice/OOo feature a jigsaw puzzle piece. Concerning the latter, I think the metaphor is okay. So my proposal is to use a blue (LibO blue) puzzle piece for this sub-section. Anything different would be inconsistent with our software. Or, the other way round, we have the great chance to correct a mistake from the past :-) Same for the templates ... will omit that. Still, it is a phone keyboard :-) Cheers, Christoph -- Sent via mobile...

The new environment is currently on my local PC but will be soon available online. I need for the further work on this new environment a logo for the LibreOffice- Extension-Center. In my opion this new environment could also host a repository for templates. Thus the logo should represent both - extensions and templates.Can you give us a short expected time plan of this? Of course: yesterday, but be realisticI'm realistic: last weekend ;-): We need mindst one week for the proposals, three days for votingBut realistic: as much time as you need. I hope to get it asap, but we can run the new site first without a final logo (like http://frodev.org). It would good to know the size of the logo (because I had to customize the header of the site).And on your issue it will be better to have a little bit more time because it is really important to get a good symbol for the outsiders.+1 (that's the reason why I ask on this list).There is also a need for a first design scheme of the new site. But that should be another thread. Where should I upload some pictures of the current site (without customisation).What do you think about making a new wiki page for "Extensions" to work on the whole stuff? Or ask someone on the website-ml? I can't do it today.I can ask there. But I think the wiki page should named Extensions-Site, because I don't want to see any extension there.
