Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Transparent backgrounds for logos and graphics

Hi David, *

I already marked your mail when I read it first, but didn't find the 
time to reply until now :-(

The SVG source of the logo 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Logo.svg) 
already contains a transparent background, so it's easy to export .png 
bitmaps with Inkscape.

The present high-res-logos are transparent (except the interior of the 
document), but they are already deprecated (wrong distance between logo 
and text), so we'll have to upload new bitmaps...

If you keep enough contrast between the logo and the background (see the 
draft of the branding guidelines: 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Guidelines_and_Best_Practices_3), 
this is no problem at all.

On a colored or darker background a white area behind the logo (rounded 
corners or even better a rectangle with cut-off right upper corner - we 
should create such a logo IMHO) could make sense.

Best regards

Bernhard
