Re: [libreoffice-design] Packaging idea for LibreOffice software

Hi Boss! =)

I found something that I thought I could do quickly so I did that first;
I've got a proposal for the Extensions logo, which I agree, shouldn't be 
a stand-alone logo, but a sub-brand of the LibO primary brand;

I've uploaded a PNG to preview here;
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/7/7e/ExtensionsLogo_110712NS.png

and an SVG so you can tinker here;
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:ExtensionsLogo_Cleaned_110712NS.svg

It continues the consistency of the Conference logo by substituting 
characters for triangles.
I think I prefer 1B because the fading-in effect suggest 
"extending/expanding" something more?
Let me know what you think...

ooh toughy, I'd like to help, but I can't register onto the Website 
mailing list, it is too time consuming to sort through and very little 
relevant topics for me.
If there is a list of graphics needed to be made, I'd be happy to just 
make them if you can point me to a link of an archived discussion?
Otherwise, I'd prefer to focus on the Design list so that I can "do the 
most damage before I leave again".

Now this IS something I'd be keen on getting involved in, but 
realistically, all I can offer are mock-ups about UI ideas I have for 
the future of LibO. But as some people have already said, maybe what we 
need is not more Mock-ups, but more direction and clearer constraints. 
I've been wading through the UI discussions and watching us do circles 
around each other. Every time the discussions seems to head in a 
productive direction, someone chips in with an immature "M$" comment or 
ribbon-stab that just makes me want to close my inbox.

I like Bjorn's efforts of getting User-data collected from which to make 
UI decisions so that we don't get stuck in the petty, "I like this but 
you like that" discussions that seem to dominate these threads.
What is your take on this? would I be adding useless fuel to the fire by 
chipping in a UI mock-up, or would it actually help?
Having said that, I do think mock-ups are more useful here than endless 
discussion.
