Introduction
Our goal is to create and maintain a central repository of Apache OpenOffice related graphics and artwork to provide dedicated tools, provide a proper environment for graphical art creation and internationalization in the benefit of the Apache OpenOffice Community and Projects, and also a central place where to direct artwork requests from the community.
All media, of any kind, is permitted in the Art Project. This includes video, audio, and animations.
Artwork and Branding
Even if we support creativity and independent production of artwork, we want to provide a positive attitude towards our program and our project as well as an improved public recognition of OpenOffice.org by visual means. Therefore it is necessary to create a consistent visual design providing this feeling that should be used throughout all appearances of our product and project in public.
This work is done in the Branding Initiative we started in the first months of 2010 together with people from related OpenOffice.org projects like marketing, website, user experience, the native-language confederation and others.
As a consistent look of OpenOfffice.org is important for the project (not only because it shows our seriousness and professionalism, but also to improve public recognition) the branding initiative provides guidelines about the proper use of our logo and the central graphical elements. There are campaigns every now and then for special events (anniversaries, conferences, fairs) and specific use-cases (website, product, documentation etc.) that need new and improved artwork based on the central branding elements.
Any help in that area is apprechiated - please have a look at the branding initiative wiki pages!
