True, but it will likely be easier to decide on the substance of the logo without the text. No distractions that way. Not that one should forget totally about the text. But it's much easier to think about what can represent Boost, without the word Boost in it.
So far I see three different concepts for logo:
1) The "<>" brackets.
2) The "++" operator.
3) The rocket.
Perhaps discussing what the logo substance is before getting to deep into the design is best?
I rather like the idea of using a rocket, because it symbolizes the use of Boost to launch C++ library proposals into the standard.
I like all those connotations. For what it's worth, we considered a rocket for Boost Consulting's logo but dropped it because of possible aerospace connotations.
What about some variation of this for it? The rocket is intended to look a bit like the space shuttle's SRB's.
Oof. Looks like an ICBM to me. Definitely not the message I want to send. And any rocket should be going up ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
