Rockbox Logo...
LurkAzusa:
Use an eighth note and you'll have your R
Benway:
For the record, I personnaly find the current logo amateurish and unattractive.
In comparison, the Logo proposed by Febs is lightyears ahead.
Just my 2c.

If you rotate it as in the left, or even better as in the right, it's extremely obvious.
In fact, I kind of like the "R" on the right. Someone with more talent than I could possibly make similar letters for the OCK. Or maybe use the darker part for the O, and do another cube for the CK or something. Dunno.

In the end, I agree, though this logo is the closest I've come to reconsidering.

O.K., I've spoken once but the logo is important, I guess.
First of all, I do like current logo, however I remember my first reaction ("OMG, so old school"). Now when I got used to I say "hurray, so old school. It does differentiate!" and I think it's a quite important thing for a logo.
The design itself is quite professional, I think - nice balance (size, placement) of particular letters, great funky violin/treble clef (though a heavyrocking bass clef would be something I would expect more 8-) ). What really makes a difference are old school, warm "dirty pastel" colours - you don't see it too often nowadays and with fitting letters they make the effect. It's hard to take this logo dead seriously but I do prefer it over coldish, pseudoprofessional ones.
Re: proposals - I think Llorean hit the point precisely - too much of revolution has been proposed while none of old users wants to change the logo badly. It's not bad, everybody got used to, so a rapid change of identity is a no-go.
If you want to fix something (like a proposed guy with a boom box) please think about evolution, not revolution. Take a look at the Rockbox girl by Julius from iPod experimental builds. http://solutions-i.org/julius/rockbox/rockboxlogo.320x98x16.bmp
It's _different_ but when I saw it I had no doubts it's my tuned Rockbox (not only because of the old logo here and there... :D ). She simply has a quite similar (but somehow braver) "personality" of the current logo, similar pastel colours (although brighter) and hand-written image. Take a look on the blue colour which has been added and fits somehow.
That's in my opinion how the changes should be made, if someone really needs to. Try the evolution: experiment first with one or a few elements: change the colours, add or tweak something etc. Black shape of a percussionist with the current logo in the background? Or the whole band? Rockier letters? Another colour scheme, fitting better one's WPS? That would be probably far easier to get accepted.
The logo has its spirit already and I wouldn't like to lose it.
Nobody said the current version is perfect. Some experiments, like these with "block" letters and images (page 3) and "industrial" design are pretty interesting for me. It's only my thought what would be more acceptable - probably not only for myself. :]
Hail to all rockboxers and artists! 8-)

Very well spoken.
