Hello Marc, Tim,

Accidentally forgot to cc the list on this message from last night. Thanks for the reminder Marc.

If we are going with the half-circle then we should take the rest of the branding of the website. 
I've made a version of the brochure with the website's font and colors (requires Open Sans 
Condensed) 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Brochure-lo-4---A4-paper-size--v4--websitelike.odt
Please note that I didn't update the design nor the spacings to match the change, so it's more than 
slightly messy.

I really don't like it. Especially since it breaks the branding guidelines for the color (should be 
white on dark backgrounds) and the website adds the 4.0 (which shouldn't be part of the logo).

So should we make everything look like the website or the program, well, splash screen?
