The new Boost logo was developed by the Alliance, and a community consensus is needed if we are to fully move forward with its use. My first thought on seeing the new logo: It looks like the Nazi SS lightning bolt I wonder how many other people will have that first impression.

Just type "logo with lightning" in your search engine and you'll find a lot designs similar to the new proposed logo. So certainly not many people will get that impression.

I don't think things have changed that much since 2004 when I made the same mistake with the a Boost logo design (https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/11/76316.php). It was a good idea to avoid this association then and it remains so 20 years later. Cheers, Dave
