Re: [libreoffice-website] Donation banner for supporting websites

Hi Bernhard, all!

I'd like to keep it short, since it's already "tomorrow" for me ;-)

Or, also the other way round, people may be attracted because it is
"LibreOffice" and they want to support us.

Well, although some details differ - I started with one of the larger
(externally used) web banners to at least have something in place for
the next days.

I re-used some of our already available material. For the background,
I've tried to closely follow the recent MIME icon enhancements initiated
by Paulo. And most people I've heard agreed with the color "blue" ...

Graphic plus source file:

Maybe somebody (Nik, Paulo, Mike ...) can jump in and refine it a bit,
and resize it (see shorter texts above)?

Cheers,
Christoph
