Your paper plane fits in superbly with the paper sheet, as a

What do you think about the idea of giving it eyes, or some kind of 
face? Can you find a way to breathe life into it, like the old man 
into Pinnochio?

I don't think you would need to personify it.

How about when you start a document, the logo starts off with the 
LibO logo that we have worked on and the more you type, the more the 
folds of a paper plane appear, and then the logo shows a paper plane 
outline to finally its final shape of a paper plane ready to fly ... it is done!

I am liking the paper plane icon concept more and more, as well.

To go along with the icon, we could create various folding templates 
for different paper plane designs, put a LibO icon on them in 
prominent places, and distribute them digitally as ODGs and PDFs. We 
could print them out for conferences, and let people pick them up and 
fold them using instructions printed as part of the template.

There are many great designs to be found online, such as these:

This could be the basis of an extremely good marketing campaign.

"LibreO -Fly the Plane" or something similar, paper plane designs on line, in templates and 
extensions.

I'm coming round, I like it a lot, certainly as a launch platform.
  "LibreO takes Flight"

and so on

cheers
