New OpenOffice Logo

Or, as they like to call themselves, “OpenOffice.org”:

I don’t know… Will a silly logo help or hurt? It’s certainly possible to argue that the semi-silly Linux penguin has been helpful in advancing open source software. Maybe a silly seagull will be more effective than the serious shadowy seagull they used before (still visible in the background of the logo above).

Update: Oops! A commenter points out that this is just the education mascot. Apparently I didn’t read the website closely enough, I just noticed that the silly gull is the first thing you see at OpenOffice.org.
