Good work MS...
The two most common and worst explanations from Tech Support are when you dial a number and get told there is going to be a "short delay" and that "your call is important to us". All companies do it and both are blatant lies.
This happens all the time in Australia, does it happen to you?
This guys in charge of a really big company. Now last time I checked he is only responsibility is to people that own stock in Intel. Now last time I checked those stock holders wanted the people running the company to widen the discrepancy between costs and profit as far as possible.
So, cost go down (Craig Barrett decides to outsource stuff) and sales go up (crazy market share) then the only people that matter are happy. Don't waste your time looking at a company to create anything else but possible outcome for itself. Companies are totalitarian organizations by virtue.
I am a lecturer and tutor in Graphic Design at Monash University. Perhaps I can add some comments on why this winning entry does not communicate well:
- Its complex. As a rule of thumb a logo or mascot should be legible when printed out at about 10mm square and run through a fax machine.
- Its not cheerful. This bird looks dazed and confused like it has been drinking all weekend.
- It devalues the OO.org brand by making it look amateurish not accessible.
The quicker open source projects take a leaf out of Firefox's approach to branding and identity the better. If open-source projects are going to have any kind of influence on mainstream software usage (which OpenOffice indeed has the potential to) it really needs to get serious with the way it comes across.
Please do judge books by their covers and applications by their icons and mascots. No mascot is better than a bad mascot.
I was just wondering if you could give up a basic run down of the software you use and why. It is something I am interested in playing with and am curious to know what you use.

It's funny you say that.
I'm actually a copywriter in an ad agency...
How long is it going to be before some big mainstream press picks these recursive stories up and starts recommending people try another web browser?
And is there anything we can do to get this in the press?

They need to get away from the 1394 name. It's confusing for people. They should call it FireWireless!!!
