Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 123491
Incorrect name and URL for ASF on introductory screen
Last modified: 2018-01-04 19:30:53 UTC
I installed 4.0.1 recently, and noticed that the ASF feather logo has got rather strange text associated with it. The file in question seems to be: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/default_images/introabout/intro.png This has the Apache Feather in the bottom RHS, as follows: {Apache.......} Apache {Feather logo } Project http://www.openoffice.org This is really confusing. The URL is for the OpenOffice product, not the ASF. Also there is no such entity as "Apache Project" It seems wrong to associate the Apache Feather with any URL except http://www.apache.org/ Likewise the feather should have the proper text for the ASF, i.e. "The Apache Software Foundation" See for example: http://www.apache.org/images/asf-logo.gif
we can drop the feather in the start center completely or let it stand alone but I don't like the idea to link back to apache.org where our typical user is lost on the first shot.
My point is that the URL and text must agree with the logo. I don't think it makes sense to drop the ASF feather; the Apache relationship is vital for branding. You can add an additional URL, for example in the middle of the page under the AOO logo. This would give it more prominence. The bottom of the screen should probably have some additional text to claim trademarks for the AOO and Apache logos.
Created attachment 81783 [details] A possible fix for intro.png Because the splash screen isn't on the screen for very long, I suggest no links. Here is a png with the correct ASF logo with no link.
I would prefer 1. remove it or if the majority wants to keep it 2. make the Apache logo much smaller and move it down a little bit. It's to dominant at the moment
Fixed with 4.1.4 See Issue 122376
Fix verified in version 4.1.5
