proposal for a new favicon

I find the black hard gull hard to see... Perhaps we should consider having
white gulls, see my attachment.

The icon with white gulls

This fixes some problems with the previous upload

The last icon does not have the black border of the first one... This can be
added if requested. I think it looks better with the black border personally.

I think in the appropriate size (16 x 16 pixel) thel white gulls are even worse
to recognize.

But that's just my personal opinion.

The gulls in my icon are a little smaller than yours, but these can be made
larger, and hence be more visible.

Again, of course, it is only my opinion which rates the white gulls higher.

Kind Regards,
Matthew

recommendation, as made on list,

small favicon facing right (left to right) with high-contrast birds, either white or black.  My own pref. given 
the size is for black birds: white might bleed into the space of the address bar on most browsers.

if no interest...I'll probably choose Volker's as it is of the right size and has adequate contrast.

thanks

I would like to declare that the idea and the first proposal came from Bernhard
(BeDipp)

Ok... One more suggestion before we all start voting on the cards - this time
contrast is not an issue, and OOo 2.0 colours are still used.

See openofficelogo3.ico.

Kind Regards,
Matthew

New logo - simple two color dichotomy - perhaps this fits in with the new theme.

modified the gradient starting with a lighter blue

I modified the gradient to make the upper gull better to be distinguished from
the background (on TFT it's been ok, but on a conventional color monitor the
blue is much darker).

Having a look at the present icon I created this one in 48 x 48 pixel, but
please be aware to decide about it in 16 x 16 pixel size.

@louis: I would not change the relative position of the gulls - it would become
too different from the OpenOffice.org logo: The right one should be the upper one.

Cheers
Bernhard

Hi 
I think that bedipp's does what we want and maintains continuity. I vote we use it.

Thanks!
Louis

+1 : Bedips icon fits the criteria much better than mine.

Kind Regards,
Matthew

bedipp: can you create favicon_new_lighter_gradient in 16x16 and attach it to this issue?

thanks
louis

Favicon with lighter gradient in 16x16 pixel size

I uploaded the 16x16 pixel icon - even if the previous one had 48x48 pixel (just
copy it to the desktop using a larger symbol size) probably reduced to 16x16
because it opens in irfanview as 16x16.

Just use the one you want to :-)

It's great, wen ideas become realized in such a sort time.

Thanks!

reassigning didn't work in combination with change of status

I added it to www/www/, as that was the  only place I could find; it is possible we'll have to add it to all 
projectname/www/ directories.

meanwhile, the old one was staticized. So, it will take a little time to publish this one.

Support,
where should I put the favicon so that it presents on all pages?

thanks
louis

Louis, the place you found is perfect for all pages. Each pages references the
location at www.openoffice.org/... and it's not one for each project.

then why is the new favicon not showing?

Would you have an example of page and browser?
I see it every day in every bookmark in IE6 and Moz1.7.

Ah. I had not checked in Firefox. Safari still has the old and so am clearing my cache.
It works fine in firefox :-) so, am closing.
