I also like the paper plane logo. Most people will naturally assume a 
paper product and I would think that this is a universal impression. We 
can still create a unique style of logo, in this case, I favour the 
trailing tail on the paper plane.

If we wanted to we could also move on to a form of animated gif-type 
logo, the print version would be the static logo.

There are so many more forms of directions and styles that we could 
develop for different use of LibO suite. The home version could have 
more of the snappy and vibrant paper plane logo, while the 
business/corporate paper plane logo could be more of a stiffer/staid logo.

The page with the folded corner just doesn't seem to have promise of 
many more options that could offer the change to add a kind of 
"coolness" and "snappy" feel to it.

Just my added thoughts.
