Rockbox Logo...
wintermute23:
Is this the guy we'd need to contact about the quarternote / R logo that people like?
NicolasP:
No, the original author is "JeanReno" from the MisticRiver forums.
wintermute23:
Ah, OK.
hayden:
Couldn't resist .. so here's 2 more cents if anyone is interested. (with so many cents you folks wont need sponsors)
Preamble.
1) huge props for 'We do not permit abbreviations such as "ppl" and "u" in these forums.' Amen.
2) the badger that has appeared earlier - just one question - is that a tail between its legs or...
More on topic
3) Its curious that for people who write 'stasis = death' and push a project that is always evolving, that its image doesn't.
4) I realise that open source is normally a case of standing on the shoulders of giants but when you use and or propose an image like this http://pijulius.blogspot.com/2006/06/rockbox-bootloader-with-fullscreenlogo.html you should at least credit the origins? http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&q=hed+kandi+image&btnG=Search+Images
5) A few arguments that dont really cut the mustard for me. No logo change because:
i) We dont want a polished looking product because we're always evolving and dont want to look 'finished'
- Why have a logo at all then?
ii) That will attract 'normal users' and just cost development time explaining to incompetent novices.
- Just plainly state that community resources are spent in development and not explaining to plebs.
iii) Evolution not revolution - we havent seen any small changes
- Some of the greatest logo changes in the history of design have been revolutions.
And you saw it coming.. heres my version - put in the context of a new web page

I don't see any indication of "music" in that logo at all. It's more or less all box, no rock.
As a note: It's Rockbox 3.0 (or v3.0), not "3". I know people call it 3, but in the documentation and elsewhere (such as a mock up of an official website) it's 3.0.
