Rockbox Logo...

[JdGordon]

nice, but i doubt that would scale well for the little displays

[Chomite]

I like it but I think it can be better   Keep up the good work.

A little contribution: Plain and simple, and suitable in various colours.

fresh and original stuff for a change!

Honestly, I think the "two letters back to back" look is incredibly cliched, but that's my personal opinion on the matter.

Llorean: I'm agree,    That was a quick draft. The idea is to bring rockbox some kind of style not as amateurish as it have now. Just look at the existing themes... I delayed my RockBox migration in part by the overall look of the software...

As an idea... How about asking the Worth1000 folks to setup a contest to make the logo and all stuff?

This is Worth1000: http://www.worth1000.com/faq.asp#7

(Checkout: http://www.worth1000.com)

Worth1000 is a fantastic photoshop-related site that freely organize contests. They are always funny and very high skilled. Some of this contests are proposed by companies or individuals to get ideas or the final image or look. In this only case there is an small amount of money to the winner ($100...) but I saw cases that there was no money, as the proponent was a non-profit organization.

This are the rules they have:

and to propose one contest, a message have to be mailed to JasomLotus, the admin of that whole thing, using this url:
http://www.worth1000.com/messages.asp?uid=1&pm=1&corp=1
As I'm a (not very active) user of this site, I could manage it.

I'm pretty sure that, explaining them that fantastic Rockbox system, he will set up a contest with no fees. And the people of this site (lots) are not money-motivated, so I think will be a lot of entries too.

Honestly, I still don't see why we need a new one so bad.  Hardly worth going through the effort of a contest if we don't really want a new one anyway.

[Bagder]

I would even say that:

No, we don't need a new logo, thanks.

But playing around and drawing and suggesting and offering logos for people's various custom builds and what not are of course a different matter: knock yerself out! ;-P

[Benway]

No, we don't need a new logo, thanks.

LOL. Is this the the revenge of the nerdy developers on the designer dudes?

I got a great reason for a new logo, everytime I look at it I see "Rockbax" the o with the x makes it look like an a and it kills me, I really like that "RB" thing someone made a couple of posts ago.
