I'd consider the header as a whole to be the topic of discussion. This consists of a background color, graphical elements and text. I'd much prefer for the AOO logo to be used in the original form. If left aligned this gives a lot of space in the header to do other things. For example, if we want that lifesaver graphic, maybe that could be the three o's in Community Support Forum? Or it could be a graphic right aligned? But I think we want to use the AOO logo prominently, to reenforce in the mind of the user that they are on an official website. As you know there are so many potentially damaging websites out there pretending to be OpenOffice websites. We need to train our users to understand when they are on an official website. The branding is a key part of this.
