Right.  That work is incomplete.  I checked it in originally, after
the logo vote, so we could start working on the product integration
immediately.  But note that the above logo is not the one we actually
used in AOO 4.0 !!

The one we actually used is this one:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_Inkscape_kg.svg

This was Chris R's contest logo with some minor technical changes.
Kevin G. used this and generated the PNG/JPG files for AOO 4.0, which
I helped check in.

My intent was to take that SVG and rename it to "master-logo-40.svg"
or something clean like that.  However, I have not had any luck
getting this logo to load into Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.  I get
errors.  And I have not had any luck getting Kevin to send a version
that will load.

So we're stuck right now with a logo that does load into Inkscape, but
is slightly different than the one we used in AOO 4.0.

A more logical naming scheme would be good, I agree.  But this has
been waiting for resolution of which SVG we should actually be using.
