Many things could have been. We created a new trademarked logo whose usage
policy allows permissionless use in Boost-related contexts, with permission
otherwise required to prevent misuse. The proposed policy is a draft and
would obviously need a community effort to ensure its wording strikes the
right balance. Or, the old logo could have the copyright resolved, receive
a trademark, and have a policy applied, if someone steps forward to perform
the work.

Alternatively the community may decide the status quo is sufficient. I
disagree with this assessment, and I believe Robert Ramey's proposal for
the website review is applicable here. A review manager should volunteer
and schedule a review to evaluate the submission of the logo, trademark,
and its accompanying usage policy. I expect that if the work is not
rejected, it would be conditional acceptance based on finalizing the usage
policy. And there's no need to wait for the review to start revising the
policy, that can happen right away by responding to this issue:

May I get an endorsement for reviewing the new logo submission?

Thanks
