Dave I think you are falling into the same mental trap you accused me of... You are placing significance on the logo because you have a set idea of what it means.
Did I accuse you of that?
At least I got that impression in a previous email... Then again it's probably just me :-\
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.
Seen them, studied them... The most effective ones in the long run reduce the textual component to the bare minimum.
Okay. Not sure how that applies here. Maybe we should drop "C++." :-)
I think that's what both Joaquin and I are saying. Boost by itself, I think, is recognizable all by itself. Many people already know what it is, well at least many in the developer community. I don't think we need the C++ to be explicitly there. And trying to put it there causes all kinds of problems because one ends up doing other things to make it fit in, re: the "/".
Here's a guideline,if you can "read" the logo in less than 2 syllables, it's probably too long.
You must've meant ``if you can't "read"...'' ??
LOL.. Yes I meant "can't" :-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
