Hence why I tried to discontinue the display of just more logos (noticed 
I stopped posting images), and turn it into what the logo should say. 
Alas someone goes and responds to the "what do think the logo should 
say", with "here's what the logo should look like" :-(

OK, but you are doing exactly what you said we should not do.

So, you are saying that a "rocket" portrays Boost to you? If so, why?

Are there other *concepts* (not instances) that would represent Boost to 
you?

Do you know someone who is familiar about Boost? Ask them what they 
think would represent Boost.

Do you know someone who is not familiar with Boost? Ask them what Boost 
invokes to them?

...And I'm not just asking you personally these questions... But the 
Boost community. Think about it and post your thoughts. But yes, can we 
stop posting yours, or my, _this is how it should look_ types of posts.
