Oof! I found a bunch of images that need branding updates. :-(
I updated two dozen or so images (not in this list). This is a list of images beyond my
art skills, as listed from GIT. Please help!

Will look at them after lunch. E., if you start at the top and work down, I'll
start at the bottom and work up :)

and work down, I'll start at the bottom and work up :)
I forgot to mention, there is repetition in several of the images, and repetition from
some of those images already converted.
I spent a lot of time fixing those I updated yesterday --- until my eyes started glazing.
I looked at those on the list and I felt like the proverbial deer in the headlight beam. I
knew what needed to be done, but lack any familiarity with using graphics software. Then I
really scratched my head when I realized changes were needed and the underlying colors had
gradients.
One thing I have learned is editing icons with kiconedit is much better for resizing and
retaining some degree of clarity than kolourpaint. The two apps must use different scaling
algorithms. On the other hand, kiconedit has no Undo support for Paste actions (bug report
filed).
When R14.0.0 is behind us I hope to find time to learn some basics.
Thank you all for helping!

I didn't expend a lot of effort on the first one, because I suspect it's
almost never looked at. More later.

With respect to these, it is still *K*Office, right? You just need
the logo changed?
(Also, I'm making the primary changes to crsc-mime-koffice.svgz ,
which wasn't on your list but needs the update anyway, and will export
the fixed-size pngs from that. As a bonus, we get a nice SVG rendering
of one of those problem logo-icon-things, which can be reused in
other places.)

Okay, here are bottom2.png, kde_logo.png, the various mime-koffice images
(22px isn't such a great image, but other methods of scaling it down didn't
produce anything better), and, as a bonus, the extracted logo as both .svgz and
a .png with transparent background. With a little luck, having a drop-in
replacement logo will speed up some of the other fixes (although there are some
places it may not work all that well compositionally).
Anyway, I'm done for the evening. Hopefully, I'll be able to resume tomorrow.

Just a comment on the style - Trinity's T logo is all right angles. In
these images, the T is slanted (a bit more stylish, but definitely
different).
Do we use the boring yet context confirming and familiar 90 degree
angles, or go with a smooth stylish version?

Notes: In a couple of cases, I lazily subbed in the alternate version
of the logo that we have as a separate entity, instead of reconstructing
the original (only where the overall colour scheme allowed it, though).
I only did one of the two identical edu-logo images, and only the largest
size of the two icons. I also modified the supplied GIMP .xcf file for
sessionchooser.
This one was already done:
tdesdk/kbugbuster/pics/logo.png
And these two I think we need to think about, because they contain
the entire name of the application, using the logo for the K. Unless
we're going to rename them to tverbos and tipi, it might be better to
use a de-logo-ized (but still fancy) K rather than put the T logo in there.

That's fine. A good sign of "street smarts" is how we respond to our own
laziness. :-) As we are rebranding, we can choose to do what we want. :-)
I can create the smaller icon sizes from the ones you attached.
This one was already done:
> tdesdk/kbugbuster/pics/logo.png
Oops --- I updated that one and forgot to remove from my list. :-)
And these two I think we need to think about, because
they
contain the entire name of the application, using the logo for the
K. Unless we're going to rename them to tverbos and tipi, it might be
better to use a de-logo-ized (but still fancy) K rather than put the T
logo in there.
We can't change the app names (not yet anyway). How about deleting the gear? Without
the gear the app name remains intact but we eliminate the perception of KDE3 branding.
With kverbos, use the updated svgz to create the png, and we're done with that batch.
By the way, in my last perusal for image branding, I focused only on png images. I did not
grep for svg(z) and jpeg. We probably should do that. :-)

I took my own advice and updated the kverbos images. I used karbon to open the svgz,
remove the gear, save, and then resave as png. I used kolourpaint to add the yellow color
to the png, which the svgz does not have (strange!).
I did likewise for kipi-plugins_logo.png.
I found more images in libkipi that needed attention. In each I (slowly!) removed the gear
and changed the K to a T:
