I did that some days ago :)

this is the actual map in catalan:

The icon i propose means you can draw and write with openoffice and it mean
s
Libre too:

I propose to change the 2 birds for that L for libre. :)

And the pen can expres to prepare one document and to draw.

Yes. The problem is that ubuntu allows to use the icon but not as 100% free

icon. Same problem for the firefox icon.  So i used other version i found i
n
the web 100% free.

As a teacher i want my pupils to understand what freedom means and i think

that using only free icons makes it a good idea. It's not just knowledge.

So, its ok now?

http://es.gnu.org/~reneme/fsmap/ca/fsmap-ca.svg
can i use this more unofficial icon?

I see as more colored, emotive and expresive this one:
http://www.saberlibre.net/libreofficeicon.svg

It's better for teaching and its less "rude". Thats why i proposed to use t
his
one until a decision is made for the LibreOffice communication designs.
Something more related to "corporative image" or a general "ngo image".

I just had one new idea for the general:
http://www.saberlibre.net/libreofficeicon2.svg
and for the particular of draw:
http://www.saberlibre.net/libreofficeicon3.svg

What do u think about it? :)
