Hi all

I don't know what is the appropriate procedure but would like to request a vote 
for the adoption of a corrected Apache OpenOffice logo vector file.

Most of you are aware that the current logo was created by Chris Rottensteiner .

Unfortunately all of the logos in vector format archived in the Apache 
OpenOffice (or at least all that I could find) left by ChrisR 
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/AOO4/ ) have the same 
problem: the TM part is a text object.

This means that editing or viewing the SVG only looks as the author expected 
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/AOO4/Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_with_4.pdf)
 it if the user's computer has font Source Sans Pro Light installed.

An easy way to see this is to click on the AOO logo at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Apache_OpenOffice_logo_and_wordmark_(2014).svg

After clicking on the expected logo as PNG you will open the actual SVG which 
will be showing a wrong TM

Because of this small defect, there is no perfect SVG that can be used as 
Apache OpenOffice's official logo, and that is the reason why the current 
official logo available to Apache is a PDF

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/project-logos/originals/

Luckily user Matthias Seidel has fixed this by converting the TM part to paths 
(as ChrisR did for the rest of the text)

This does NOT change the artwork in any way. It just guarantees that the vector 
logo looks the same under any OS regardless of the fonts installed.


TL:DR

Therefore I would like to propose a vote to approve file 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/AOO4/Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_unofficial_mseidel_fixed_TM.svg

as the Apache OpenOffice official vector logo file


Best regards,

Pedro
