Rockbox Logo...
iPodFoo:
What about if the rockbox design was used for Windows? I would be turned off by it to be honest.
I think something simple and more contempory would be a good thing.
For example, the Windows logo is the coloured window pane thing, apple is, well, obviously a stylised apple, linux has the penguin character and so on. Theyre all identifiyable without words and very simple. Obviously a bit of marketing gets it "out there". But I think a good project like rockbox deserves a good logo to siginify its "coolness" But then thats just me coming from a design background ;D

The logo wouldnt have to be only at bootup, could use it for the menu. I put a logo for the background of the menus in all my wps themes.

Well, so far nobody has presented a suggested symbolic logo, tending to opt for the textual ones. The closest still contain text elements.
If it were to go in that direction (a symbol representing the project) it could even very well coexist with the existing logo. More of a mascot image. BSD Daemon, Linux's Tux, etc. Any cute little critters seem appropriate? ;)

I'll again express my favour of the "Rockbox H300 experimental" (http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=35654) logo. Not the entire logo - but the small "R" that looks like it's part of a cube. It's in my opinion pretty good, but I don't understand why it's upside down.

Could it be that the upside down R is actually a box with a musical quarter note? That's what it looks like to me. I actually think it's pretty sharp-looking. Very clever, concise, and well representative of Rockbox.

Great idea. Its not that I have anything against the current logo, it just doesn't look right on my ipod screen. Not to say the ipod logo should be there. We could always do a guy holding a boom box over one shoulder.
