I think boost should have guideline for this in documentation templates and 
guidelines and probably in the wiki.  A standard set of logo designs used at 
various stages in a proposal life-cycle may be good, I made some proposal 
designs and uploaded to the vault as logo/boost_logo_alternatives.zip  

 http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=boost_logo_alternatives.zip&directory=logo&

I played a little with various font sizes, so they vary a bit so you can see 
the difference.  A different color may also be used to highlight the message.

Guidelines like this make sense:

Any library or system using boost may use the "powered by" or "using" 
variants.

Any library being developed with the intention to propose for boost inclusion 
may use the "under construction for" variant.

Any library in the review queue may use the "proposed for" variant.

Accepted libraries may use the "accepted for" variant.

Released libraries shall use the standard boos logo.

New work on rejected submissions should use the "rejected proposal" variant if 
there are no plans for re-submission but source is left in the boost 
namespace.

New work on a rejected library for planned re-submission should use the "under 
construction for" variant.

New work on a rejected library in different for planned re-submission should 
use the "under construction for".
