Rockbox Logo...

[delorean90]

i like it, maybe the word "rockbox" could take a little more inspirarion from the original, but your logo looks pretty good

What is this fabulous Jubebox you speak of, and how may I get one?
 

ha-ha didn't even notice I will fix that later how do you like he emblem though?

good concept, maybe the notes floating out of the box should be more obviously notes (they're a little "blobbish"), and a little wider text for the "jubebox" subtitle.

but, to be honest, out of the current logo and everything proposed, my vote would go to the one shown here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=6202.msg72495#msg72495

This is my favourite!


if i have time i'll give one a try!

This one is my favorite too.

The original rockbox logo, while it certainly has a lot of character, is sort of 'uppity'. It's very busy, and IMO that's not what a logo is about. A logo should be so generalized and memorable that one can sketch it on the top of the TV Guide without a reference.

This new one is sleek. It's less of a work of art and more of a symbol. It would work in a hundred different fonts, sizes, colors, and arrangements; it's that quarternote box and the words "Rock" and "box" adjacent in diff colors.

... and how good does it work on greyscale or monochrome displays?

2 minutes' work in gimp:



Monochrome's not as pretty (it never is) but I also didn't put that much time into it and didn't bother with the jaggies on the letters.  Still, it's not what I'd call horrid and cleaned up I bet it'd look quite nice.  Grayscale IMO looks very good.

[Llorean]

Remember that our grayscale targets are 2-bit. You get "White, Black, Light Gray, Dark Gray" (not in that order). Load the grayscale image in a WPS on a grayscale target (not the jpeg viewer because that'll use the grayscale library for more shades) to get an idea of how it'll actually look.

You have to remember, we don't get to pick how light or dark the two grays are, the hardware does. Dark gray is pretty dark.

[Yotto]

Well, then in theory both could use the monochrome one, or perhaps white letters, black background, and use the two grays for the logo.

Dunno, just trying to point out that it's not an insurmountable problem.

Dunno, just trying to point out that it's not an insurmountable problem.

I know it isn't an unsolvable problem, but I still think the current logo works better using greyscales. And it looks like a lot of logo arguers / creators forget the greyscale / monochrome aspect we still need.

I still like the current logo best

[Sambolina3]

I think it would be pretty nifty to have a bass cleft and a treble cleft on the logo instead of just a treble cleft.  
I vote to keep the logo relativly the same.

[mad]

this is my concept/idea. just a thought

Nice - I like it.

Splendid idea, I really like it!
