Re: [libreoffice-design] need "branding" approval[?] for the flier/brochure

Hi Tim,

Didn't mean to visit you – it's just always nice to know who you're
speaking to or at least have someone to address your mail to. :)

Sure. I personally don't love the old green, but ... you shouldn't use
one of the new greens for the logo on top an older green within the
text. They are not very compatible.
You can keep using the half circle, but maybe either remove all colour
from the logo (as I think our branding guidelines would actually want it
[1]) or just replace the current green with a green from the palette.

Right, so keep that everywhere else, but please do remove it from the
cover panel. It really does not work there.

As for having different information on every panel: the way the layout
is currently is fine with me, all I said was that the tildas weren't so
cool.

I didn't object to "Fantastic Community". In fact, "Free Office
Suite/Fun Project/Fantastic People" I think is a great slogan, because
it so accurately describes what drew me here in the first place.
What I objected to was seeing the word "community" twice in ~5 words.
