I like the cover of the opensourcepress DVD box quite a lot:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Cover_LibreOffice_3D_rgb_400px.png

It combines the motif with an idea of the main application icon without
being too tightly related to the logo.

With the different colored additional triangles it provides an idea of
the different sub-applications - an idea for different covers depending
on the content of the user guides (just color one of the enlarged
triangles).

If you want me to try out a similar design for the user guides, just
tell me. We are allowed to use their design under any license we want.


Bernhard, yes please, I would like you to try out a similar design for
the user guides. Thank you!

I've just returned from 2+ weeks away, when I was not subscribed to this
list. Has anything further happened with my request for a cover design
for the user guides?

unfortunately not :-(

[...]I realise you have more urgent items on your list, so if
you don't have time for this design job, just let me know. Thanks!

I will start to convert my idea (based on the OpenSourcePress cover) in 
a SVG and then hope for the designers her to step in and improve it ;-)

If someone else wants to start from the scratch, I would not be annoyed...

Ok - well, as usual - just to help prime the pump

A very simple start:

Note I dropped in a sub-title, in this case for Chapter 1. I did not use
a very high compression setting on the PNG file, as this is for an
example.

Jean had asked for a GIMP compatible file and the wiki will not
accept .xcf files, so wrapped that in a zip file, here:

As I say - it is quite simple.

Thanks
