Re: Possible Logo Designs

  Hi Connor,

It's great to see you're interested in OpenOffice.org and that you want 
to help out :) Welcome aboard!
As Ivan explained it's better to upload attachments to a wiki or a 
website and then link to them.
I would also like to see your designs, we are open for new ideas and 
creativity. But as Ivan also explained the logo isn't likely to change 
soon: so many people around the world know it and recognize it. And 
that's why we are also working on logo usage guidelines to help 
community members use the logo consistently. You can find the draft of 
those guidelines here: 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Branding_Initiative/branding_guidelines_draft

But we have many other places where you can be creative and where poeple 
from all over the world can see your work: our website, our wiki, 
marketing materials, etc. So there's plenty of room for you to be 
creative! For example, how can we create marketing materials that look 
cool for people your know, like for example your friends? You can design 
flyers, postcards, or cool graphics for the web. We'd love to see them! 
You can also subscribe to the Art list: [email protected]

Let me know if you have any questions and don't hesitate to show us your 
ideas.

Regards,
Rosana
