Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Logo Survey now Open!
The Apache OpenOffice project is planning a "brand refresh" for our
next major release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0. As part of this effort we
are looking to update our logo.
We've received 40 proposals from community members and we would like
your feedback on these designs.
You can find the survey here:
http://survey.openoffice.org/index.php/815178/
Thanks in advance for your participation and feedback.

-Rob

I assume we do something like that. Take the top scoring logos and
refine them, make take the best ideas and combine. It will probably
depend on the results. For example, if there is one logo that is way
out front, scoring far more than any other, then we probably want to
focus on that one. But if there are several that scored near the top
then we'll need to discuss more.
My personal preference is to discuss and reach consensus where
possible, but vote where necessary.

IMHO, this is the next (absolutly necessary) step. Get a direction
with this survey and in the second time, revise with the winner
designer the details to build a complete visual identity, with all
necessary elements, to AOO 4+. The visual "fine tunning".

Thanks rob, very nice job.
I assume we will at some point go in a second round with just a few logos,
would it be possible (at that time) to have these logos additional as:
Logo for the product (sw)
Favicon
There are a couple of those I like, which I cannot judge if they would look
nice in something as small as a favicon.

Good question. Juergen, the Release Manager for the AOO 4.0 release,
made a post recently on the Dev list that said need to wrap this up
soon so any new design can be finished and included into the release.
He suggested a May 17th date for picking a logo. Based on that I'd
like to keep the survey open until May 12th, so we then have a week
remaining to look at the results before making a final decision.

Rob,
Thank you for the opportunity to give input into the new logo. I just took
the survey and, while I appreciated the opportunity to give comments on
individual logos, I wanted to just give a general observation.
Of all the logos I saw, only one had a serif typeface. I think the use of a
classic serif typeface (Garamond, Linux Libertine, Goudy, etc.) might work
well in the logo.

I'm having trouble getting to the actual logo survey with Chrome. After answering the first demographical questions, I can't submit them: the "Next" button won't work.
I'm using Chrome Versión 26.0.1410.64 m, on Windows 7 SP1 (x64)
I tried a couple of times, same result.
I finally submitted my votes using Firefox. I also tried Opera, "next" button works fine.

But it may be less easy to derive a theme from a single logo than building a whole pack having in mind the synergy needed between the main logo and the application icons.
LibreOffice was very consistent about that when they forked. Their visual identity is rather strong and efficient.
But well, let's see how it goes. I just hope that the other icons will be changed shortly afterward. They are the real weak point in the AOO visual brand IMHO (and it's no fun looking at them all day long).

Well it was fun to do at any rate. I saw SOME icons in one of them, but I
just assumed the other branding elements would come later so they could be
more related to what logo was chosen.
I'm just happy we finally got to this go around.

Small question: what is the point having a nice/renewed main logo when the application icons and their mime type icons are so outdated???
What users do really see are the application/MIME icons (in menus and in their file browser), not the main logo that splashes a split second...
The previous design was so nice. It just lacked some colors, that's all (I mean the refresh branding).
Even with the 40 logos, there is no proposal that creates a link a common ground to the applications icons (except one with mere copy/paste of the application icons). At least the refresh branding gave a global theme for the whole look and feel.
NB1: I did the survey nonetheless.
NB2: not subscribed to the marketing list.

Maybe Juergen can clarify what he was thinking then about the May 17th
date. Was this a date when we need the final artwork ready to check
in? Or something else?
If we need to we can end the survey earlier. The results are coming
in fast, nearly 978 responses already.

I did the survey, and now my wife (who is a designer) wanted to fill it out
(on her pc), but it says "no available surveys, contact rob.."
Is that because we share the adsl connection (which would be a severe
limitation).

Hmm 5 days is likely not enough to iterate the logo, discuss which to use and create an entire brand identity based on it.
If i got this right, it is probably better to end the poll earlier than that. If we're talking about five days just for the logo it should be fine.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback Urmas :P
Just a reminder that we are all volunteers and this is open source, many of
us have day jobs we get paid to do and many of us are not experts in the
areas we volunteer in. This community allows many people to user their
expert skills or vice versa gain skills they would otherwise not be exposed
to in learning.
For example, I have coding skills, but I do that for my day job. There was
a need for marketing and branding. I jumped in and am trying my best to
drive this process forward, I've made proposals and I've tried to organize
information around assets and branding.
I don't think anyone suggested a bad idea in their contribution, they may
just not have the skills to create a finished product. Some looked more
finished than others.

While I agree that Urmas exaggerated, I was surprised by the number of
designs that included some hint of the Windows scheme. While I use Windows
and am happy with it, it seems to me that one of OO's "selling" points is
that it is cross-platform. Incorporating hints of one operating system in
the logo doesn't advertise the cross-platform nature of OO.
That said, there were several very good designs in the survey that did not
include the Windows hints. I particularly liked the designs with the feather
and globe icon, as well as those incorporating the doves as ends of a book.
Very creative and descriptive of the extent of OOs breadth.

Thanks. It is always good to get the LibreOffice perspective on this.
But with nearly 4000 responses to the survey so far I think it shows
that many thought it worth their effort to participate in the survey
in a constructive way. This is good. We were happy to accept logo
contributions from anyone. We didn't ask for their C.V. first.
That's the nature of open source: we're open. Of course, not all of
the logos will make it on to the second round.
Regards,
-Rob

And there was no better ideas that copycatting MSO 4-tile logo, metro'izing it and throwing in some chicken feathers? The whole gallery save 1-2 images is like that.
With all those donations one could suppose a real designer will be employed to create a keystone image. Unless someone is planning to get it off soon and not invest in it targeting next decade or more.

I'm having trouble getting to the actual logo survey with Chrome. After answering the first demographical questions, I can't submit them: the "Next" button won't work.
I'm using Chrome Versión 26.0.1410.64 m, on Windows 7 SP1 (x64)
I tried a couple of times, same result.
I finally submitted my votes using Firefox. I also tried Opera, "next" button works fine.

Small question: what is the point having a nice/renewed main logo when the application icons and their mime type icons are so outdated???
What users do really see are the application/MIME icons (in menus and in their file browser), not the main logo that splashes a split second...
The previous design was so nice. It just lacked some colors, that's all (I mean the refresh branding).
Even with the 40 logos, there is no proposal that creates a link a common ground to the applications icons (except one with mere copy/paste of the application icons). At least the refresh branding gave a global theme for the whole look and feel.
NB1: I did the survey nonetheless.
NB2: not subscribed to the marketing list.

Rob,
Thank you for the opportunity to give input into the new logo. I just took
the survey and, while I appreciated the opportunity to give comments on
individual logos, I wanted to just give a general observation.
Of all the logos I saw, only one had a serif typeface. I think the use of a
classic serif typeface (Garamond, Linux Libertine, Goudy, etc.) might work
well in the logo.
