I don't mean to put down anyone's effort, but some of the logo sketches were, well, terrible. I think that a number of people here have had interesting ideas in terms of what the logo might contain (whether it's a rocket or angle brackets), but very few of the resulting images were esthetically pleasing. My proposal is that we take a small set of possible ideas to someone with graphic design skills.
I am not implying we have nobody like that here, I just think this is very quickly degenerating into a shed-painting discussion, and I think we can save everyone a lot of time by picking 1-3 ideas (e.g., "boost rocket") and having someone adept of converting ideas into images work with that.

PS. I think a design which simply reads "boost" and has the letter t be the rocket would work well
Like the one on slide 3?

I agreed with Miro, but I have concede that your latest attempts (slides 2 and 4) don't look too bad to me. But I don't like the look of the slanted C++ in the background. For one I don't see the point of stacking (staggering?) the "++". With the rocket there, is there really any need to stylize the "C++"?
The staggered "+" symbols are how we get the "s" in Boost. We could just remove the "C++", of course, as in slide 3 of the current version at http://www.luannocracy.com/logo.ppt -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
