Funny what one has to take into account!
(sorry that the only feedback I give to this discussion is not quite constructive but I'm just too busy at the moment)
Destroying the chance of having anything reminiscent of the S.S. in conjunction with Boost is quite constructive!
Actually, that was pretty easy to fix.
Here are a couple of possibilities, along with some "widgets" that were inspired by the ">>" marks in one of Rene's recent pages.
Sorry to disappoint you. I didn't follow the thread (like I ignore all of the design discussion) but accidently I clicked on the link. I *immediately* associated the s in the logo with the swastika symbol as used by the Nazis. Neo-Nazis in Germany and elsewhere produce a lot of symbols that resemble the "original"[*] Nazi symbol more or less directly; this includes softening the edges or reducing the number of arms in the symbol by 1 or 2. Btw, the third of the small blue C++ logos resembles a Christian fish symbol. I wouldn't be fond of that kind of connotation either. Regards, m [*] I'm aware of the fact that the symbol is much older than any Nazi. Hence the quotes around 'original'.
