*Graham Lauder* \- *Graphical Text for Logo text*
This is another example of a text graphic created in inkscape used instead of
some type of typeface. It's a San Serif type font and can be modified as
an svg. !OpenOfficeText.png|border=1!

h6. Michael Acevedo - Concept Logo for AOO 4 Proposal #1 (12-15-2012)
This logo proposal changes makes use of a new font and logo scheme to present
the word OpenOffice by updating the orb as a flat surface and placing a "donut"
hole (which represents the open nature of AOO as an open source project) in the
orb along with our trademark gulls effectively making it an "O" which anchors
the words "Open" and "Office" but with the use of a single "O". The logo also
makes use of a new typeface.

{color:#000000}{*}Michael Acevedo - Concept Logo for AOO 4 Proposal #1
(12-15-2012)*{color}
The second logo proposal for Apache OpenOffice 4 is more conservative,
conventional, and simplistic than the previous logo proposal; which makes the
new open office logo more recognizable among the community. The new logo
proposal makes use of an updated OpenOffice orb which now rests on four squares
that represents the four main applications associated with an office suite
(Blue= Writer, Green= Calc, Orange= Impress, and Violet= Base). In addition the
orb now is surrounded by a white belvel emboss ring that makes the logo look
more like a pin and actually makes it stand out of the four background squares.

h2. Notes
- consider a logo content, as seen in Flex
- Apache OpenOffice is a continuation of OpenOffice.org, consider retaining
aspects of previous OpenOffice logo for continuity
- consider including Apache in logo
