Re: [libreoffice-marketing] New header image for social media channels

I agree with Charles.

The header image with the icons is clean and professional (nice work!) 
but the image should convey the message - even without words. As for the 
message itself, we seem to have overlooked the fact the LO6 is 
compatible, flexible, and a viable alternative to other closed, 
propriety  products.
