The "d" at the end is a bid confusing, unless you have been in on the "std" discussions. Maybe the "Boo" should be one color, the "d" another, and the "st" some mesh of them, so that visually, you see Boost and std as one, yet separate as well.
I worked hard to achieve the separation you're referring to. It doesn't work to have a smooth transition across Boo-st-d because it makes the "d" look like part of "Boostd". The "std::" is meant to be very subtle; It emerges as a continuation of the shadow behind "Booost". To demarcate the beginning of "std::", it becomes italicized there.
Of course, my talents are the other extreme of artistic creativity (I can not even draw stick people)...
