Re: [libreoffice-design] [VOTE] ligatures in the logo

My vote: B

Why: I don't feel like the ff ligature in option A correctly matches the
rest of the font.  That is, the ends of the letters that have ends (r, e, f,
c) all point forward in the original font, while the ff ligature ends point
downward. The whitespace in the A ligature isn't as balanced as in the B
ligature as well.
