Rockbox Logo...
Toxikator:
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.
