Rockbox Logo...

[iPodFoo]

Can see what your doing. But to me it looks more like a herbie car! Not that thats a bad thing, could be a pimped-herbie!  

Not all the players rockbox is on dont have radio too, so the ariels could be a bit misleading. But im just being pedantic

The new logo Alfred put together looks good, but it looks like the brand of a product you can buy. I like Rockbox to look like something you try out and have fun with and get involved with to customise your player with it. When the logo comes up at boot, it shows that the player was modified and is something special, nothing out of the box.

But this is just my opinion, Ipod users might want a sleek logo to match ther sleek players with round edges (don't take me too serious here, please)

None taken!  Quite appropriate really - "Rockbox Fully Loaded!"

Actually the aerials aren't the only problem - I don't think there are any Rockbox players that have built-in speakers either!  But I thought overall the boombox motif suggested a music player - nothing more.

What great new Rockbox designs!

But I still like the current--in my mind, it shows this site and the firmware as being a developer (and friends)-oriented on-going project, rather than a "commercial" product.  

But then, I still call my player an iHP-140 (actually, it's an iHP-160 now) rather than an H-xxx, and I still call iRiver that, not iriver.

I just want to point out that before Rockbox could ever use this as a logo, we would need to get jeanreno's permission.

So does anyone know how to get a hold of him, to get his potential permission?  Maybe his 2 cents could be worth it.

Not to mention possibly a vector and better quality version as well. He is or was on the MisticRiver forums, so you might be able to contact him through there.

I just sent jeanreno a PM asking him to contact us to discuss this... The thing is I'm not too sure he ever visits MR currently, and his email was hidden

Yeah, I noticed that as well, maybe a MisticRiver admin could be persuaded to contact him (I'm pretty sure a valid email is required to register, so they'll have an address)?

As a moderator at MR, I can access his e-mail, but I would prefer to wait to see if he responds to the PM before doing so.

I'm having a go at designing one as we speak

It probably also won't matter unless a decision is taken that his logo might be a candidate for use in some way.

What i really actually miss in all the designs is a development of the logo. I dont think its the right way to make a complete new logo. For sure there are some nice ones in between. But there is mostly missing the connection to the current one.

I really like the cube one mentioned earlier on (as in ipodfoo's sig).

Got bored today and made this in five minuets so it a bit rough. I based it off of the current logo:

May I suggest If the logo EVER gets changed that there be a poll or some type of "let the people decide" type of thing. I really like the Original Logo. I read this today and looked at the Logo on the main page and I really really like it. I think i said this before

Rockbox isn't a democracy. Little known fact: There was a poll on what Rockbox should be named, and the name with the second most votes got picked in a "We overrule" style situation. Not that it's necessarily a bad name, I liked the winner better but it probably wouldn't have been a good name overall, it just has a tendency to appeal to the sort of person I am.

A poll might happen, and it could influence the decision a little bit, but in the end the decision lies in a small group of peoples' hands pretty much no matter what. It's just the situation, y'know?
