This is a proposal [[user:BeDipp#personal_sandbox|among others]] (collected at BeDipp's user page) of how to integrate the OpenOffice.org Logo with different graphical elements or conference logos. The white space is reduced compared to the normal logo and the font in this proposal isn't the final. <br>

The logo can be accompanied with additional text for conference, seasonal or project specific use. This font will be the default font to use together with the logo. It is important that the chosen font supports a wide range of languages and scripts (i.e. unicode font). This will benefit consistency among different projects and languages.

Branding Guidelines Draft

This is a draft for the OpenOffice.org Branding Guidelines. Elements for discussion can be posted here. The content of this site is not yet official.
Discussion happens either on the branding mailing list or from time to time on IRC.

Identity Statement

Mission Statement

To create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.
  • What does OOo stand for? What general ideas/statements do we want OOo's branding to be guided by?

OpenOffice.org stands for

  • Openness
  • Freedom
  • Interoperability (Standards)
  • Quality
  • Experience

How OpenOffice.org's branding reflects this

These logo usage guidelines are also available here.
