Results of the Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Logo Survey
Thanks to all in the community who took time to offer feedback on our
recent logo survey for Apache OpenOffice 4.0. Over 5000 users rated
the 40 logo proposals and many offered detailed comments.
We have a new blog post where you can see what the top logo proposals
were, as well as meet the volunteer designers of the top logos and
learn how they approached the design task:
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/results_of_apache_openoffice_4
The designers are now refining their logos in preparation for a 2nd
round of evaluation and discussion.
Regards,
-Rob

Hi Kevin, I'm looking forward to seeing your updated version.
Unfortunately binary attachments are stripped from the list. But you

Hi Rob,
Attached for your consideration is my refined logo submission.
My refined logo includes refinements to the gulls/pages emphasis, font,
font weight, font kerning, and layout.
For the orb and gulls, I've emphasized the gulls curves to be more
representative of book pages, and generally stronger visually.
For the logo type, I've updated my font to Open Sans, which I had in an
earlier sketch but didn't submit for the voting. This font is available
from Google Fonts and would allow us to use this font for website
typography when we extend the styling updates to our websites.
Regards,
Kevin

Refine means the designers of the top logos look at the comment
feedback from the survey and then adjusting ("refine") their logos to
improve them if possible.
Hopefully then we can pick a single best logo from among them.
Once we have one design to work from, and from that a color palette,
etc., then the other things flow from that, such as splash screen,
favicon, etc.

does refining include making versions for icon, favicen etc. (I am not sure
which other variants we use) ?
Just too bad we cannot combine the best ones, get the feather into the logo
would be a real sign of integration with ASF.
