Hi Drew, *

I've been much too short in my comment - thanks for clarification...

My single point in this mail was: The LibO-Box is part of our community.
I wanted to show that you are aware of this work - that's all.

That's what I meant by "it's based on" - it follows the same "visual 
language". If you understood it as "copied" or "wasn't able to create 
anything on his own" I'm very sorry - it's exactly the opposite to what 
I meant!


I want to get a common design for all community distributions - but
at the moment I can't spend enough time on this task.

Sorry - I didn't know. I can't follow the US marketing list too :-(

It is marked for reply (as about 30 other mails on the design list), 
but you're right - a short "I like it - it fit's with the branding guideline"
would have been appropriate. I'll remember (hopefully) for the
next time.

The reason why to post it on the DE-list was a different one:
People there still discussed different proposals for their DVD
design. As I already mentioned, I want to create a consistent 
Branding Design for LibreOffice, so I hoped they would tend to
the proposal similar to the US group's design. They did ;-)

Best regards

And sorry again for any displeasure!
