[Owncloud] alternative Icons

[Frank Karlitschek]

I agree with Jan,

It would be cool if Mirall could be renamed to "owncCloud". It should then use the official Logo (The monochrome one or the coloured version as attached). Not a variant of the official logo. This is bad for branding.
If we don´t want to rename Mirall than it should use a complete independent Logo from ownCloud.

The systray icon doesn´t have to be the ownCloud logo because it is just an status indicator. But the default state (if nothing happens and no user interaction is required) should be non distractive. I think something non colorful is fine because ownCloud should just work invisible to the user.
If something interesting for the user is happening than the systray should be indeed more colorful so that we grab the attention of the user. For example can´t sync because the network doesn´t work.


Cheers
Frank
