Do "LyX" have some sort of "primary" colours? Or some kind of colour

something like that?
In my opinion a color set should be a part of the new design.
Ok, but less easy... now I remember what it was called, she referred to
it as the 'graphial profile'. It involved more than just colours, also
what fonts we should use etc. Anyway, the designer we used apparantly
spent quite a bit of time thinking this through somehow.. I just
wonder if we'll be able to come up with something useful. But maybe
this is were Andrei's expertise comes into play?
According to my gf it's non trival, and apparantly related to
"branding"... and we should start with what LyX represents, and what its
core values are.... how are we different from the competition... sigh,
can't we just do development? ;-)
Actually, it's probably a good idea to see what kind of graphial
profiles OO, MS Word, Abi Word and LaTeX have?

PS. I tried finding some kind of explanation of what a graphical profile
is... this sounds like the thing I meant. From

Logo & graphical profile
Any company needs a logo and preferably a graphical profile to make
themselves known to their customers.
Think of the big companies, think of IBM: stripy and blue, McDonalds: M
and yellow. They are graphical profiles that helps give them an image that
sticks in customers minds. Not only do they help the business stand out,
but it also creates a reputation. IBM's logo gives a very traditional
feel, serene and solid. It represents something you can rely on in the
marketplace. While the McDonalds logo is dynamic and fun, inviting you to
a feel-good experience.
A graphical profile spans logo, colours, business cards, stationeries, and
a range of supplies for commercial purposes.
