OK. Now my memory has been refreshed. Zoltan Juhasz (the winner) was asked to design the beehive logo and indeed it was discussed privately by the Boost Moderators and me CC'd in the discussions. Thanks for clearing that up.
FWIW, the active participants in the discussion were Beman Dawes, Dave Abrahams, Jeff Garland, John Maddock, me and the contest winner, Zoltan Juhasz who iterated over a few designs.
You can see the "public" process info in Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20050718000048/http://www.boost.org/more/logo_co... * * * * * * It's a bit strange: "This is a tough decision. Based on the IRV program the winner is supposed to be Simeon Nasilowski, entry number 67. However, entry 67 clearly fails to meet one of the requirements: The logo must be free of any copyright or other intellectual property claims. It was noted by Eric Niebler, and confirmed by others that entry 67 has a glaring similarity to the marketing imagery of Visual Studio. See: http://tinyurl.com/6chhn. Hence, entry number 75 by Zoltan "cad" Juhasz will have to be the winner. Congratulations Zoltan!" * * * * * * So organizers decided not to use the most voted one, but Zoltan's winning proposal is not the current logo. So we can't say current design was a community decision at all. I don't know if "the logo must be free of any copyright or other intellectual property claims" technically correct, if someone needs to "enforce" its fair use as both Vinnie and David have stated. Best, Ion
