I decided to jump in with my ideas for the best logos and my comments on them. 1. 67 Simeon Nasilowski I liked this one because the checkerboard is abstract for several things: building blocks (Boost provides software building blocks), fitting the missing piece (Boost often provides just what you're missing), blended parts of C++ syntax (you can infer :: and }{, for example). I also liked that the checkerboard itself could be used as an icon, including in the address/location bar of the browser. What I don't like is the color scheme. I think a bluer scheme would be better. "C++ Libraries" could also be replaced with other tag lines like: - Setting the Standard - C++: The Next Generation (might be a copyright problem) - Your C++ 2. 83 Emil Kirichev I liked the color wheel, since it could be extracted as an icon and it suggests a never ending stream of libraries from Boost. I don't like the multiple colors; a simpler scheme would be better, I think. "C++ Library" should be plural, at the least, and could be replaced with numerous tag lines. 3. 49 Cristian Peraferrer Mayn? This logo looks really sharp and might have been my first choice, except for a couple of issues. I liked the coloring and the lettering. Since there is no accompanying graphic, it would be difficult to form an iconic version of this logo. The shading in the letters and the border requires a high number of colors; will it look as attactive with less color depth? 4. 21 Jonathan Turkanis I like the grayscale variant best, but the black works OK for lower color depths. There's too much gap between the "C" and "boost." It doesn't render well at low resolution, including as an icon. 5. 38 Simeon Nasilowski I like the "b" variant best. (I'm partial to the blue color palette, it seems.) The blocks can be used separately as an icon and there's always room to add a tag line (push "boost" up and put the tag line below as with #83). The foreground block could be adorned with a "C" yielding "C++," though that leaves the other, exposed surfaces with nothing. I don't know if that will look right or not. Adding a tag line would improve this one quite a bit. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
