My advice: continue pushing the effort forward, but avoid the
perception of exclusion that comes by specifying a hard deadline,
especially a sudden one. The progress of AOO 4.0 will create its own
practical deadline.
And my advice (in addition to agreeing with Rob on this): get exposure.
The text in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Apache+OpenOffice+4.0+Brand+Refresh+Project
can be copied almost verbatim to a blog post that can generate
awareness, traffic and involvement, and perhaps a few unusable
submissions, but also a few good ones.
Choosing a new logo is an occasion to get more attention on one hand,
and a duty to inform current users on the other hand: we are changing a
well-known brand and this need proper communication.
I've already written this, but it would be good to add to
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Apache+OpenOffice+4.0+Brand+Refresh+Project
(and to the possible blog post) some contact information, possibly the
marketing or dev list. If you tweak the text so that it can be used as a
blog post, I can take care of posting it to http://blogs.apache.org/OOo/

Andrea.
