Tim: Thank you for your very good valuable points. Your arguments do 
give us reason to have an official template version (for offset 
printing) and perhaps a community version that is both optimized for the 
home printing and costs.

Issa suggested this latest iteration for us and I think that it looks 
great for our official version.

If we can all agree to it, that template could be used as the official 
TDF/LibreOffice v.4.0.x template. It will not be our community version 
for the reasons that Tim has explained.

I have printed out a copy and I have to say, that it does not seem to be 
too attractive in B/W.

Here are a couple of other examples that I have also made[1][2]. Have a 
look and see. I have used our official logo svg and changed the colours 
to match the website "olive green" as well as matched the black background.

I now have read that Tim is concerned with bleed-through or shadowing 
for the black half-circle headers and logo. It would have to be tested 
to make sure that these work.

These two examples mimic the website theme we have for LibreOffice v.4.0.4


Cheers,

Marc
