Re: [libreoffice-design] LibreOffice icon seems to confuse new users

Hi Ruslan,

despite good or bad design: the icon is also our branding for The Document Foundation and for 
LibreOffice. So we should not only try to make the product more striking out of the crowd of icons 
but also clearly distinguish it from the charitable organization behind. Hope the icon designers 
come up with some good ideas.

Cheers,
Heiko
