Hi,

For Boost.STM Justin created a variation of the offical log

Toward
   Boost
     STM
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/stm/boost.png

I have taken the same approach for some of my own libraries

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/async/boost.png
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/bitfield/boost.png
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/conversion/boost.png
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/interthreads/boost.png
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/synchro/boost.png

Making a variation of a logo doesn't requires too much graphical abilities. Maybe  "Toward Boost XXX" could be considerd for libraries working towards an accepted Boost library.

When I see the docs on the sandbox the "Toward Boost XXX" appears. If I move the docs to the Boost repository the Official Boost logo appears.

Best,
Vicente
