Project Unified ODF Icons
This "home page" for the ODF icon project is a work space for the i-team. It won't contain all information related to this project, in particular it won't include the actual icons. Please see section Links for more details.
Motivation & Goal
We want to introduce a new set of icons for documents created or associated with OpenOffice.org and other ODF based applications. The new icon set shall give ODF documents a clean and unique visual identity, and it shall remove any product or vendor specific brand.
A core strength of ODF - being supported by many applications - at the same time is a disservice to the ODF brand. Each and every ODF application uses their own set of ODF icons. That's more to the benefit of each of the applications, or the application vendors, than to ODF's. It gives users a fragmented impression of the ODF brand.
That's why we need to unify the ODF brand experience across all ODF applications and their vendors, starting where most users meet ODF: on their desktops. We want users to perceive ODF as the primary attribute of their documents. By doing so, we unify the ODF experience across applications, so that it becomes apparent to the user, that we all speak one language: ODF
