The -6 version is pretty sweet, I hate to admit it, but the front looks
good w/o the globe. Very clean.

I can tweak the back cover, but first I'll need to get the font.

I'm thinking that by reducing the ODF logo, moving the LibreOffice logo
to the top of the page, followed by the slogan, there will be enough
space to move the icons proximate to the descriptive text. One potential
pitfall is that the ODF logo is a square, and the other logos are
rectangles.

Maybe also drop the "North American...", "Multi-language..." and O/S
texts as they're already on the front. That would give more than enough
room to promote the LibO logo to the top of the page.
