Re: How would they look at smaller sizes?

These are logos -- meant to use on websites, t-shirts, business cards and so on -- splash screens if KOffice ever gets slow enough that a splash becomes necessary, not as application icons. So don't worry about scalability :-)

HUH?? They aren't going to be used as application icons??? That doesn't make any sense. It would make sense to use the koffice logo in the splash screen of all the koffice programs, but i sure hope that these other logos are going to be used as icons too. The current icons are really sad.

We don't have splash-screens cause our apps startup to fast for them ;)

be sure to keep it that way,
it's any of the very good aspects of koffice.

Oh. Go on.

I think these would make nice application icons actually: it could perhaps take a bit of work to ensure they are recognisable at the smaller sizes, but they're clean and fresh looking. New and shiny is what KDE4 is about :)

I understand. But making application logo and icon different may confuse...

In KDE, the icons are associated with the file type, not the application (this is stated on the Oxygen site). However, when you DO see something associated with the actual application (menu?, titlebar?), it would be a good idea to use the logo. Anything less would be confusing.
