A lot of people are expressing favorable opinions about selection 67 boost/squares. This logo is simply out of the question, in my opinion, because of its glaring similarity to the marketing imagery of Visual Studio. Just look at the Visual C++ box:

IMO, option 67 should be removed.
I consider that a background pattern and not sacrosanct. I never would have noticed it had you not pointed it out.
I think if we had to eliminate any abstract graphic that was used in promotional or packaging material, there'd be hardly anything we could use.
If it was used on the packaging of baby formula I might agree with you. Having a logo that's so similar to to VC++ marketing material would be a real problem, IMO. Jonathan
