Re: [libreoffice-design] LibreOffice, Icons For Telegram Channels

Hi William,

Thanks a lot for your input. In fact is has come to our (TDF staff team) attention as well that our 
logo is not well used and not easy to apply. The plan is to put the topic into a bigger picture and 
consider a full redesign/rebranding for 7.0. You are very welcome to join the discussion, I will 
start soon with some basics.

Cheers,
Heiko
