Should the current bocpages logos be replaced?

Yes, it's long overdue!

wow, yes, this one is looking great. it's clean and simple. obvious boc reference but not grabbing something directly of them. one of my favourites of the bunch.

definitely material for the final voting thread in december.

whilst that's a nice idea in theory, I don't think it's particularly practical. I think consistency is essential and having lots of logos will ust make things sem muddled and confuse people.

I know what you're saying, and I agree to a point. How about using the same text/font/title, but with a different banner image under the title each time instead?

the letter p's latest one is cool.

Fredd-e asked me to make a lighter version, so here's a few more.
I'll try making some full-size banners in the right colour scheme later.

Nice additions. I love the bottom left and right ones in particular.

I'd love you to also try to make a full banner in the correct colour scheme out of the top one:

I really like that one. Think it has great potential, just because it's so simple and clean.

I don't think the knotted BOC works as well when the lines are thin, then it loses the 'celtic knots' feel (where the knots are always tightly spaced without a lot of negative space around them).

Also, I thought rik0000's idea of putting the 'pages' on the top of the 'c' worked out pretty well.

word. but it could be executed a little bit better. it needs a tiny adjustment in the curve to make it perfect and change the colour scheme obviously. (green background, boc in white/grey, pages in turquoise?)

green: #7E9E4F
turquoise: #87C4BF
grey: #F4F4F4

that would make a great left part of the banner, and then perhaps some geometric shapes at the right side (like the letter p's latest creation)

More stuff. I got full size versions of all of these, I just put them together for easy posting.
Image

Mexicola's idea is pretty interesting.

Maybe there could be a simple, one colour transparent logo on the left side, with a changing picture in the background, for example photos of the band or album cover art? Like this:

I really like this one. And the idea is great as well. I'd love to keep the left logo. It's simple but effective. And the idea of having a band picture at the right is nice. The picture gives a lot of depth to the banner in general.

I'm in favour of this one. But this one is not finalized I suppose? Has some photoshop work to do on the blending part.

Could look like:
