Kevin sent me an updated SVG file, but I'm having problems opening it in Inkscape or Illustrator. But I have posted the PNG of the result to the wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Stage+3+Logo+Refinement Once we have a working SVG file we can move ahead. > 2) Alexandro said something about adjusting the colors.

I'd recommend that we use this to avoid duplicating work. Of course, if someone wants to do all of the conversions, that is fine too ;-) I did one, as test, that used only the globe element from the logo. You can see in the wiki I added a little comment that explained what I did, so this work can be replicated later if needed.
