Yep, I do agree ... I think Spring 3 (looking at the Spring proposals)
works best concerning our overall branding and has some nifty details.
Although I (again) have to say that's a pleasure to look at all this
work.

How to continue with that? Present that to the marketing team ... wait a
bit ... and derive the real banners?

One thing I'm currently unsure about is whether we can say "Windows" or
"Macintosh" without mentioning that these are registered / trademarks.

Concerning Winter Season - that reminds me of the very first LibreOffice
download button I've made over a year ago. Does anybody remember that?
It had a download arrow within the document logo that switched to a
bright red heart :-) Unfortunately, people asked to use something more
neutral ... but here it fits very well. 

Since we are at it ... I have been asked by Italo (Aleksandar: he is one
of the TDF media contacts) whether we could provide a web banner for our
first anniversary. It is just a few days from now ...

Here is what he wrote:
        I would like to offer a banner to online media willing to help
        TDF. Something very simple, with TDF/LibreOffice, and a cake
        with one small candle.

Is there any chance that you could come up with something like that? I
don't want to "mis-use" any of you, but I think that's a great chance to
get some more visibility for LibO and our team.

I don't know what size fits best - Aleksander, Ivan, all - what's common
for that? Some time ago, I collected some sizes on the donation
challenge wiki page:

Cheers,
Christoph
