In the future, it might be nice if enough instructions were available so that library authors could play with their own, starting with a plain 'template' and using

Would a few lines and an example on the wiki encourage this?.
(Otherwise you may have a job for life!)
Sorry, I thought it was obvious how to edit vector graphics. I've added some info in the readme. <snip>
they think about it.
Nice. Discrete. Clear Boost branding.
How about a logo for the Boost.Math library? And Boost.Multiprecision? Do you have some ideas/preferences?
For Math I'd put some symbols like: - sum/big sigma pi and big sigma look sorta mathy? And easy to do.
Or continued fractions (since this features quite a bit in John's implementation)? This probably won't fit nicely into the small hexagon.
See Boost Math Toolkit bmp attached. (I think I may have an svg used to create this somewhere).
- integral, definite integral or contour integral - differential operator or nabla - +Bi - plus big beta and imaginary (quaterions, octonions) - big gamma/gamma function or zeta funcion (special functions) Or graphics: - gaussian bell curve (statistics) - other function/curve e.g. erf(z), some polynomial(s) (special functions)
For Multiprecision: - a nice simple fraction a/b or x/y, one above the other Possible but the main feature is loads (and loads) or digits, so perhaps loads of digits? Loads?

PS But are we getting ahead of ourselves here? Although it is a bit of a bikeshed issue, I think we should start a new thread to get general agreement on the principle of having a separate customised Boost logo for each library.
Yes that's probably a good idea, now when we have something to show to prove it's possible to make a quite consistent set ;). However the number of people talking about it in this thread isn't too big and I assume that it will be the same in different thread. I also suspect that at the end the libraries authors will do whatever suits them but I hope that at least some of the logos will be used. Regards, Adam
