Here's my take. I'm providing b/w and color versions. The idea is to provide an abstract logo to associate with Boost while retaining the visual link with the previous artwork (through using the same Impact font for the name, a very appropriate font IMHO.) Some more rationales behind the proposal:
* It can be easily rasterized. * It goes well with flat backgrounds. * It works as a transition from the old logo.
As for the logo itself, it tries to convey the following connotations:
* Its square shape, and the fact that is bottom aligned with the text, gives a sense of solidness. * It reminds the reader of a set of construction toolkit pieces, which associates well with Boost being a repository of general purpose libraries. * The "++" part of C++ is retained, integrated into the logo. Going a little pedantic, one can even recognize the logo as a deconstruction of "C++", where the L-shaped pieces are the two halves of an upper "C", split and shifted.
Dya like it?
I like it. Although a version without the L-shapes might be interesting, too. Or maybe fill the edges, too? Hmm... it just looks a bit nervous to me with the "gaps" in two corners. With filled edges, it's more like a solid block. And "solid" is a good word to associate with boost, IMHO. Also, I like the fact it's prefix, not postfix, because this also communicates the efficiency of Boost ;) Regards, Daniel -- Daniel Frey aixigo AG - financial solutions & technology Schloß-Rahe-Straße 15, 52072 Aachen, Germany fon: +49 (0)241 936737-42, fax: +49 (0)241 936737-99 eMail: daniel.frey@aixigo.de, web: http://www.aixigo.de
