Well I must say I've been smiling all day :-) Thanks for the encouraging feedback. And I've been putting finishing touches on my design hopefully coming up with something everyone can enjoy.
I have two different sample for you to gander at. The first is the simple clean version...
A great improvement over the current design! Congratulations!
One thing, however, is that I would personally like to see the boost.png (formerly boost.gif) logo continue to be used. I think people recognize it, and we should retain that tie to the past.
Sorry to be blunt, but: 1. I disagree that it is well-recognized. It's too busy to make a memorable visual statement. 2. Even if it is well-recognized, I think it would be terrible to be tied down to that logo forever just because people currently recognize it: it's not a very good logo. I mean that it doesn't do what a logo should. I remember what the Spirit logo looks like better than I remember the Boost logo, and I've had way more exposure to the latter.
The second adds some background flair to the page...
That looks cluttered to me. I like the other one better.

PS: Presumably this is for the 1.33.0 release; nice as it is we need to ship 1.32.0 ASAP.
Fortunately, it just shipped! -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
