Applying new logo to social media accounts
I'm starting to update the social media accounts with our new logo.
Most are easy -- just use the new flat globe.
But Facebook is more complicated. We get the ability to have a "cover
photo" as well as a "page profile picture". The profile picture is
easy. That is just the globe again, at 160x160 pixels That is what
shows next to any of our posts.
But the cover photo is larger, 851x315 pixels. It shows at the top of our page.
Here's what we do today with these:

As you can see the cover photo is just a repetition of the full logo.
Not very interesting.
It looks like there is potential here for something more creative.
For ideas look at this article:

Google+ has a similar concept, but with a 2120x1192 cover image:
So what could we do here? Anyone want to try something?

Done for facebook, I could occasionally update it like a google doodle.
Also this needs to be updated

It isn't pretty on google+ because scaling doesn't keep photo in place
for splash.
We could do a screen cap of the side bar maybe in a few days.

That might be interesting. Another idea might be to show one of the
apps, maybe Calc or Writer. Show full width of the document, but only
the window bar, menu, toolbar and a little of the document itself.
Maybe just enough to have text saying, "Apache OpenOffice -- the Free
and Open Productivity Suite" or something like that.
Another area we need to update are the images we use for social
sharing. We use those for Facebook and Google+, linked to files on
our website, yes?

I could try something. Was thinking a dotted line like it bounced into
place. With some abstract splash marks around.
