Introduction
My name is Andrew Allen. I have an Associate's Degree in Business Management which included a lot of training in marketing.
I am interested in this project because I have been managing my own web design firm for a couple of years now and I use open source software in my operations as much as possible. GIMP, Inkscape, and Audacity are some of the programs that I have been using. Many of my websites are built on the open-source platform Drupal.

I'm not sure "too simple" is how I would describe the current logo. I agree that it needs to change; it just doesn't look very modern. The current trend is actually to simplify logos, in a sense. Microsoft's Windows 8 logo is one example. Google Chrome's current icon is another example.

These links are the same logo, but one is a vector graphic. Usually when I do logo work the client wants a vector graphic as they can be resized to any size and still look good. Vector graphics can be repurposed for something as small as an icon or as large as a billboard on the side of a skyscraper, or a print ad in a magazine.

Microsoft, Google, intel can afford to have simple logo, since they have a
deep pocket, so deep, nobody can reach the bottom. But the case here is a
bit different. The logo shall be such that it shall get registered in the
minds of the people even they see it few times.

I have a few ideas for a redesigned logo that I am drawing up. When I am done, do you want .svg or .png?

I am also one of the volunteer. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Have a
look at the home page of openoffice website. Your comments are welcome for
the improvement in the feel, look, usability of the home page. The logo of
OpenOffice looks too simple. Can you iprove the same?
With Warm Regards
