While I do like the design, we should be careful in creating various 
logos that may confuse our users/visitors to our sites. The marketing 
team (as small as it is) is in charge of the maintenance of the 
TDF/LibreOffice brand.

Our usual practice till now, was to post a proposed design on the 
marketing list for discussion; if the concept was agreed by the 
marketing team, it was then checked out by the design team for refining 
and final voting by members of the marketing/design teams for official 
use. After this, the artwork was officially added to our "Gallery of 
Marketing and Design Resources" wiki page[1]. This is the wiki page 
where you will find the collection of officially accepted designs for 
marketing purposes.

It seems like we may be diluting our marketing and design process for 
the simple reason of expediency. I am not sure if this is a good idea if 
we are to try to build a solid brand with global recognition.

IMO, we should have more of a conservative approach and make sure that 
our brand remains important in designing artwork.

Cheers,

Marc

BTW ... as a side-note, the mish-mash of bottom and top-posting gets 
really confusing. Could we please go back to bottom posting as what we 
have agreed to?
