Perhaps while this is being discussed, there might also be some discussion of adoption of a real mascot or emblem to serve as the logo for Boost. Stylized text is fun, but having a real logo adds significantly, in my opinion. I think it helps build a "brand," and in a way, the Boost brand is an especially important one.
Microsoft has their flying Windows, Apple has their Apple, GNU has their gnu; what should Boost have?
Either a catapult or a rocket. ....just my $.02 :-)
Rockets are fun :-) And have along history of use as logos, emblems, and tokens. Has the nice association of "Boost" with "booster rocket". A catapult is too retro ;-) We want to inspire cutting edge not middle ages. I'd say the rocket idea was worth more than $.02 -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
