It is also missing "Community Forum". > I see several issues wiht this logo, first of there was a design proposal to go 2d instead of the 3D Orb. The 3D lifesaver goes against that design mantra. There was a white blur on the background which affects the thin design of the typeset for Apache. Then is the issue of the blue, which was the same reason to have this on the light color. Originally proposed to be completely white. Which is on the Visual guidelines from branding: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Logo_Usage_Guidelines_Proposals#.C2.A0Black_and_White_Logo_Versions Also "community forum" text itself is a branding breach, which has also been questioned for the index forum page, as 'funny': http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=282094#p282094 The 'new' header is the one implemented by Extension website, which has no branding issues and my guess it should be the new header for the site/wiki/etc. But major re-design needs to be done there. http://extensions.openoffice.org/ Having the light blue on the background makes it ideal for the darker logo. Also the logo is 'free' from the content of the site 'Extension' which is easy to replace with Wiki/Site/Forum (or community forum) without affecting the branding element. > > -- > ______________________________**___ > > Larry I.
