Rockbox Logo...
PaulPosition:
Oh, it's still a quarter note even upside down anyway, just look at any Mozart, Chopin or whatever sheet music. :)
Cassandra:
Despite not liking the current logo, I've still not seen anything that's leapt out at me and said "yes, that's worth the effort of getting our stationary changed"*.
The Bagder logo did make me lose sanity points though.
* No, we don't have stationary. But you take the point.
Llorean:
Yeah, the current logo to an extent extends to the themeing of the entire site. A change of logo with a dramatic change of feel (as many of these do) would suggest that a lot of other things needed to fall into line.

ah! it's interesting to see that jeanreno used to different colors for 'rock' and 'box': needleboy dropped that and (without knowing) it i restored jeanreno's original idea by copying from senab. funny...
i prefer senab's font, though. i like the 'c' in 'rock' better.
@all
i don't think the logo has to change as long as rockbox sounds as it does. it's just fun to play with the logo and explore people's tastes.

I agree with haibane that yellow isn't doing wonders for the logo. The Yellow Pages logo is certainly recognisable, but I see it as immediately ugly too. What decade did that come from anyway?
The current logo says "Under Construction". That's what it is saying, just spelt differently. Industrial and not full price yet because its still dodgy. The yellow and the big black letters with bits of black sticking out everywhere, corners not quite cut off precisely, its all very construction friendly and consumer unfriendly.
Imagine the current logo with the silver taken out of it. Not very enticing. That, and the G-clef with its shadow, are all that stand out in my opinion.
I think the logo is perfect for the website, because continued development is what this place is all about. Just not for the players; that's where the end result is being used. When someone fires up their jukebox for personal enjoyment, they don't want it to remind them that its still a work in progress. They (might) want something that looks sleek, deep, and extremely confident of just how much better it is than the original firmware.
So I'd rather see the logo that is used on the actual players being all about that kind of presentation. Then it would be alot easier to design a very polished/cool bootup screen around it.
