I have now uploaded those screenshots to

http://kdab.net/~dfaure/fileicons.jpg
for the curious :)

Great ;-)

I don't think we need a contest if we like what Andrey produces :-))

OK I remember that nuno also wanted to contribute - he sent us
http://kdab.net/~dfaure/nuno_pngs.tar.gz (action icons)
Actually I don't see much difference with the current icons but maybe I just
don't have the eye? :)
If anyone sees in there some icon that is currently missing, let's ask nuno
for the various sizes, the initial set is in SVG. But I'm not sure if nuno still
has plans for a KOffice logo; I don't think so.

Anyway, back to the KOffice logo issue:

KOffice to be precise :)

Best is an SVG source, and generating from it the usual sizes:
16x16, 22x22, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 128x128 ?

Any webpage or private mail is fine, the goal is to put it in CVS afterwards :)

There's no immediate rush, take your time.

If you make something available freely to the world, you can't really expect
anyone (except someone very stupid) to pay for it afterwards, when they
could just download it for free :)
Usually it works best the other way round: being sponsored by a company
for developing a set of icons, and having them agree on making the result
opensource. Then they get what they ordered, and the rest of the world
benefits from it as well.
Anyway, for those KDE icons (unrelated to koffice) it would be best if you 
could coordinate this with the other artists on the kde-artists@kde.org
mailing-list.

PS: speaking about contests there's a new mailing-list for that purpose,
kde-contests@kde.org, where some people do want to organize many
contests for artwork.
