New icons proposed for version 3.4
I don't know how many people monitor Bugzilla, so I'm reposting here a
proposal for new icons for Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (I merely noticed it in
Bugzilla, I'm not involved with it at all):
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118820
The icons can be seen at
http://0dd0ne.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d2dw9dt
and they look rather nice to me. They would be suitable for Apache
OpenOffice 3.4 too, since they still use the previous design elements
(those currently used in Apache OpenOffice trunk) but add a fresher
look. Any thoughts? I would only discuss the six application icons for
the time being, and only focus on the design, not licenses or
permissions (read the issue for those, and we can investigate further if
we decide to give the proposed icons a try).
Regards,
Andrea.

I think that these icons are really cool.
I disagree about waiting to ask the designer about the license. If the designer is not willing to use the Apache LIcense then we shouldn't take any of our time on these designs. I commented on the issues and asked that the 0dd0ne be asked about the license.
I wouldn't want to be required to go to the designer with any necessary changes or derivative works. For instance I was confused by the Draw icon because it actually made me think of writer.
We need to make clear to everyone that contributions to the BZ are under the Apache License.
(I also realize that we don't want to discuss the merits of licenses.)

Dave

They look, but how will we associate the applications icons to the
other, to be sure the whole thing is consistent ?

Just one : I'd suggest to first define / propose / create and so on
the Apache OpenOffice graphical chart, because this is IMHO the pre-
requisite for whatever Art work.
HTH,
Eric

I agree here with Jürgen.
All the branding items of our project should be consistent. There is no need
from my point of view to hurry through the rebranding for AOO 3.4. Let us aim
for the release following AOO 3.4 for these rebranding tasks.
Best regards, Oliver.

I am not sure if we should do that for 3.4. Reverting the icons back to
the former well accepted icons was ok and a necessary step. But if we
intend to do some more branding rework for a 4.0, then I would prefer to
keep the current icons. We don't have any pressure here and we can focus
on such a rebranding after the 3.4. Important from my pov is the overall
goal of the rebranding and that it is consistent in all branding
elements we want to change.
Just my 2 cents
