Re: [libreoffice-design] Logo for Extension and Template Repository Site

Hi all,

I'm currently sitting in the garden (without Internet access and thus no
chance to access the graphics at the moment) and would like to add some
thoughts to this discussion.

Mmh, I've thought a bit about the slash-dotted line - how to combine
what we currently have, or what we can do about the recent template
icons, the old icons (still used in some places) and the template
repository logo. So, here are some ideas open for discussion (if you
like).

Idea 1: How about turning the characters for "Extensions & Templates"
into the known items puzzle piece (='X') and spiral binding (=left side
of 'E'). This would match the recent LibO styling.

Idea 2: Why not defining a new extension icon based on Nik's design?
Sometimes I've heard people complaining about the puzzle piece - maybe
the triangles forming a "plug-in" would work okay (may be checked with
Björn's icon test).


Astron, since my mail isn't synced properly and (thus) I cannot reply to
all the mails: In the message covering the revision of options, you've
mentioned the option "show tooltips" - I talked about the "advanced
help". My fault, of course, since I've replied to your mail during
breakfast and concentrated a bit too much on chewing my muesli ;-)

Cheers,
Christoph
