This logo proposal changes makes use of a new font and logo scheme to present the word OpenOffice by updating the orb as a flat surface and placing a "donut" hole (which represents the open nature of AOO as an open source project) in the orb along with our trademark gulls effectively making it an "O" which anchors the words "Open" and "Office" but with the use of a single "O". The logo also makes use of a new typeface.
3.Michael Acevedo - Concept Logo for AOO 4 Proposal #2 (12-19-2012)
The second logo proposal for Apache OpenOffice 4 is more conservative, conventional, and simplistic than the previous logo proposal; which makes the new open office logo more recognizable among the community. The new logo proposal makes use of an updated OpenOffice orb which now rests on four squares that represents the four main applications associated with an office suite (Blue= Writer, Green= Calc, Orange= Impress, and Violet= Base). In addition the orb now is surrounded by a white belvel emboss ring that makes the logo look more like a pin and actually makes it stand out of the four background squares
