Hi,

I already posted this icon on the mailing list some time ago, but I improved it and the whole mock-up a bit, trying to mimic the look of the original Plone software center (http://plone.org/products/plonesoftwarecenter)

Thus vertical space is saved, we have one or two eye-catchers and achieve a clean look: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:TemplateRepository.jpg

Hope you like it

Alex

- Andreas: attention is a funny thing in Graphic Design, when trying to
balance "size" with "empty-space" you have to remember that there is an
inverse-bell-curve, where too much or too little empty space /attracts/
attention and a "balanced" compromise makes people feel comfortable, but
uninterested. For the logo I think we should go with this "boring"
balance because like you say, the logo isn't the major player on that
page, the Navigation is. But interesting to note in that principle, is
that something SMALL, when surrounded by luxuriant empty space, catches
attention. While I've never formalised that in any discussion on-list so
far, I think that is the method LibO should employ in its branding
language. It should become our mantra. Empty space (not necessarily
/white/, but /negative/) is our friend.
because I made some changes to the proposals and maybe the logo is not in the same
style like the one for the extensions site, I ask for new logo for the templates
site. I will use that for the step by step update of the site layout.

Regards,
Andreas
