Is the vote open? I totally love slide 6. :) -- /Brian Riis
I don't like the typography on any of these. It looks over-busy. The rocket is nice though. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com

That's even better. Be sure shrink the images down to logo size for viewing. When you do that (at least on my machine), the C++ shaddowing disappears entirely. Have you tried adding the "C++" in the same font as the "Boost"? --Beman

Not sure what "shadowing" you mean. The letters "C++" are in gray. They don't disappear when I shrink them.

Not sure which image you're looking at, but the "C" is always in the same font as "Boo t." The "s" and the "++" aren't part of any font: they're custom-drawn to interlock in that special way. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

The second one is a candidate, I'd say. --Beman

I like #3, with the C++ easily readable and slanted upward. But I'm also tempted to suggest that the "C++" itself be made the rocket that is shooting skyward.

#5, particularly if the image is shrunk down to logo size (perhaps 1 inch wide). I'd also like to compare #5 against an otherwise identical version with "C++" added above the "Boo..." Maybe we should have a vote, including candidates from other people. But they should be presented logo size and side by side, IMO, for voting. Also identified with a number so people vote for the intended candidate. No chads allowed. --Beman
I don't think a rocket would be the most suitable symbol for Boost. To me it communicates ideas like "flight" and "space", which obviously don't fit very well. IMO, a much better variant would be a thunderbolt. It is commonly associated with "power" and "energy", exactly in the spirit of the Boost name.

Yeah, but thunderbolts, tornados, meteors, tsunamis, etc. are also associated with _raw_ power and destruction. Rockets also represent 'the final frontier', high-tech engineering. Besides, designing a package solid enough to pass the boost review process _is_ rocket science :-) A construction crane might makea good metaphor--solid and work-a-day, but also staid. --rich
