In case you didn't follow the thread about the readme. I thought it 
would be good for the Boost brand if libraries logos were more 
consistent (in style) than it's now 
(https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/LibrariesLogos). Those new logos 
should be:
- minimalistic and have clean, Boost-like style,
- clearly connected with Boost,
- created for a bigger number of libraries.

I've decided to use Boost logo as a base and to add a small, white 
abstraction representing the library, in the lower-left hexagon. This 
way, they're also consistent with the original Boost logo in the case if 
someone wanted to use it instead. You can find logos here: 
https://github.com/awulkiew/boost-logos. The example set is also 
presented in the README (at the bottom of the page).

What do you think about this idea?

Regards,
Adam
