Res: [libreoffice-marketing]LibO marketing? [was: t-shirts ...]

Hello,

I think by the translation of the name "LibreOffice" in other languages may seem 
too simple a name and do not sharpen the curiosity. Here in Brazil, translating 
to have all 15 characters: O. And the name does not bring any "sigh."

See that "Google" is a phrase that has a sweet sound in pronunciation. It is 
easy to remember and regardless of language used in any country.

"Libo" would have the same effect in all languages regardless of the 
translation. The sound of it is soft, brings more "magic" to the software.

Could be matched up in the logo. Highlighting rows and Libo "LibreOffice.

I'll make a suggestion and soon will offer to show my words better.

Looks good, but if we were to put it, just as an example, on a t-shirt 
it would almost need a slogan so that people could easily guess what it 
is. For example, I could picture it on a t-shirt or letter head with the 
slogan "A_Suite_Deal.com" or something like that that would lead people 
back to the LibreOffice.org site.
