Apache OpenOffice is looking for a refreshed logo and branding for its upcoming 4.0 release.
This is a tremendous opportunity for designers to get involved in one of the most popular free and open source projects, and to get their work displayed to dozens of million of users: Apache OpenOffice just celebrated 40 million downloads in less than ten months.
Brand Refresh Project Scope¶
Required:
- An AOO Logo
Considerations:
- Can be altered for use in splash screens, about screens, publications, website, elements in application icons, etc.
- Brand proposals that show more than just a logo, considering placement in the areas of focus such as splash screen and websites.
Primary Requirements¶
- Logo submissions must include the source.
- Logos can be as large as the designer wishes, but must be able to scale down and not loose detail. eg.. for website, splash screen, etc.
- Although text in the logo is optional, any font used must be a free and open font. eg. SIL Open Source Fonts. Any font used in the logo must be disclosed upon submission.
- Incorporation of gulls literally or symbolically, but not necessarily the existing shape used in current branding.
