Rockbox Logo...

[soap]

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.

I know it is not what you were proposing, but I just need to let this off my chest.
The last thing the world needs is another slender female used in advertisements/promotions/logos.

Just for no good reason:

Get it?  

[wafflesomd]

HAHAHA

best one yet.

I can't believe I'm getting pulled into this, but I like that box.

How's this for evolution? (Note, despite the title, I'm no artist  Comment on the idea, not the execution)

Not bad.  I like the direction you're going with this.

I don't like it. It simly add something that doesn't belong there IMO. Also, the letters are off the baseline for the "box" which looks somewhat broken to me.

I agree on point 2 (Not on point 1, though, else I wouldn't have put it there and try #2 is up there now.  I didn't put it back on the baseline because affixing the cube to the X looks right to me.  So, as an alternative I made the box's "bo" obviously on the center line of the ROCK's "OC"

(Note, you may need to shift-refresh as the image name didn't change)

Hi,

what do you think about a symbolic logo like this:

I'm sure people would love it.
And it could also be used inside the firmware for example to show splash screens (by showing the text in a yellow speech bubble) ...or random popups just to annoy the user .

Actually, what's the use for a symbolic logo? And if we really need such a thing, why not just simply use the "R" (with the treble clef) instead?

My opinions on your proposition... It reminds me a lot of the MS Office assistant (you know, the animated paperclip)... I think this says it all...

You know what my biggest problem with the rockbox logo is. Its the fact that its yellow. Yellow isn't the most appealing color, and usually if you do public presentations or videos you try to avoid the yellow as a backdrop. Extremely screamy colors never are that good really. For instance neon green would look horrid on this logo

Well, to reinforce the point that Linus made earlier:



Clearly, yellow can be effective as the color of a logo.

Um, so don't use neon green with it?

[Llorean]

I'd like to point out that the little running man for AIM, as well as the stylized similar guy for GAIM both use yellow as well (the AIM one being very similar to the RB yellow.)

Just throwing a little more out there.

[JdGordon]

and one more... XXXX beer is yellow letters on black (the beer itself sux tho.. so that could be an argument against using yellow!)

[iPodFoo]

Most of those examples about using yellow were used in the font, which is a big difference than using a whole solid yellow background. Yellow pages is really the only exception. But then their whole product revolves around being a big book of yellow pages!

See image for what it might look like reversed. I cant decide if it actually looks better as Im not really a fan of the overall design anyway.
