[libreoffice-design] Visual identity: Application icons - logos, or "just" icons?

Hi Marketing,

We've recently had a question in the Design team that we don't feel
empowered enough to answer without consulting Marketing:


Should the "application icons" have status of logos?  Ie. should they be
still the same regardless of the icon theme?  Or are they "just" icons,
and should be modified according to the theme?


By the "application icons", I mean:

These are apparently in the Tango theme; and from the purely Design
point of view, it would look better if they were consistent with the
icon theme to which LibreOffice is switched (so should be Sifr-like when
LibreOffice works in Sifr; Breeze-like in breeze; etc.)


But in case they have status of logos, that is if they represent the
application, I think they should not change, ie. the Writer icon should
still look the same regardless of the theme.

What is the Marketing view on that, please?

Thank you,
Kendy
