My name is Nikash Singh. I've been a volunteer Graphic/Interface/Web&Interaction Designer with OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice for more than 5 years. I live in Sydney, Australia. In the "analogue" world, I'm a Research student, Tutor and Webmaster. I'm interested in ensuring LibreOffice looks & feels good to use and is represented well. Please feel free to contact me if I can help you with anything Open-Source.

Logo proposals
2nd December 2010
Just some early ideas I wanted to get out. In greyscale to begin with, colours can be added once Identity has been decided. Typeface is mostly Arial but easily replaced with an Open-Source type like Liberation Sans, again, once decided. The proposals attempt to convey various qualities, among them; open/cleanliness, simplicity, sophistication. Many try to adhere to the current "dog-eared-page" logo choice. Designs are numbered if you care to provide specific feedback.
