Rockbox Logo...

Those are nice  ;) But... I like the current logo so much more! Because of this thread, I was thinking of the first impressions I got from the logo when I first came to Rockbox. I remember that it was a bit surprising that it wouldn't transmit "modern", or "technology". But, besides other positive things that have been already mentioned about it here before, it also transmitted "construction" (yes), some sort of "do it yourself" thing that I really like, "flexibility, adjustment", and also some sort of a “vintage” thing, that may seem contradictory (?), but that now I personally also like. So, I tried to figure out why wouldn't it transmit "modern/technology", of course having no idea if that would be desirable to be transmitted, just assuming it, but I reckon that might be one of the main reasons people would like to change the booting splash image. Anyway, I think that might be because of two things: 1-The "ROCK" font, that doesn't look modern (and looks somewhat disproportioned, too tall or too thin), specially compared to "box", which does look modern, and 2- The old fashioned music note... which I like! I would never leave out the "sketch" lines.

So, I'm not saying that the current logo should be replaced, but if something was to be done about it, IMHO it should be a rework of the current logo, instead of a replacement.

TexasRockbox:
If something is to be doen to the original logo, I would think the edge enhancement needs to be removed.  If one looks very carefully it can be seen that around the letters the yellow-ish background is lightened -- it's about 1 pixel wide.  This gives a false impression of sharpness (TVs do the same thing when "sharpness" is increased.

Otherwise, I have my own idea for a Rockbox logo but can't draw worth anything.

Zardoz:
I like hayden's take on the quarter note design. It's clean, clear and simple. Music note in a box shaped logo with a prominent 'r' says it all to me. And for me it just boils down to what looks best and next to jeanreno's 'box' thingy, this is it.
