All I see there is: And there are no clickable links. But if I go to http://redshift-software.com/~grafik/boost/more/ I can browse what I presume you've done there. I'm not fond of any of these. They're all still trying to do too much, IMO. Too many fonts, and too many design elements that don't make sense to me. For example, what's the point of the circle around the angle brackets? And why do they poke through the sides of the circle? In my suggestion boost/ C++ The slash followed boost and boost was lowercased because it corresponds to what we write when we #include boost headers. If you're going to upcase boost and move the slash, the slash may as well be dropped. Putting C++ in typewriter font doesn't make any sense to me either. We never write that in our programs. Do you regularly increment variables named capital `C'? Logo design is really, really hard. But if you take a look at the really effective ones (Apple, FedEx**, Coke, UPS, ...) they do basically one simple thing. It's much better to err on the side of minimalism. (**) FedEx is really subtle. See the arrow? Here's an attempt to add interest to my previous logo. I have really poor image editing tools, so I couldn't do a great job with it, but maybe you get the idea. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
