Should the current bocpages logos be replaced?

Yes, it's long overdue!

That's a great idea.
But oh man does my attempt look horrible :D

For now I'm most intrigued by xagoln's design. Even though I'm not 100% satisfied with that one yet. The positioning of the word pages could/should be different. It seems a bit out of place there. And it does not yet capture the boc vibe yet, there should be a little boccy addition or something...

bocpages could look like this at the moment:

the actual pages are the very same (main colours: turquoise, green, white and grey) except for the logo.

I think this looks great.
I agree that 'pages' could be positioned differently. TOP NOTCH!

i agree with s7409651...i think it would simply take making the "PAGES" font less bold and a little smaller. it fills a bit too much of the C's opening.
perhaps something like...

Great idea. A small change with quite a big positive impact. I like that.

Let's see what the creator could make out of it to further enhance it. It would be even greater if it could have just a little bit more the boc feeling. Don't know how but I guess there has to be something possible to give it that little bit extra.

And please, let's keep this thread on topic.

Too much blank space at the top of the page. Needs to be a wider version of the logo (which would probably involve making 'pages' bigger, not smaller' or have to header redesigned for a narrower logo.

The header will in fact be smaller than the previous one. As a matter of fact like it is now it's already a bit reduced.

Here's some variations of "pages".
I kinda like the bottom right one.

Everybody is of course free to modify these if they think of something.
The typeface I used is Avant Garde.

Don't know whether the crushing "pages" effect is essential. Tried to make "pages" more part of the logo with some minor modifications.... don't thinks these are the best ones, but might give ideas to others....

Hmm. I'm not digging the links.

Hows about typing BoC Pages on an old broken typewriter and scanning it into photoshop?

this is a grower for me.. looks celestial.

don't know why the logo or design has to resemble a trademark.. not sure what criteria will judge the winner here..
