The BOINC logo
The BOINC logo and associated icons were designed by Michal Krakowiak. Its arms represent the convergence of separated things (such as computers) into a unified whole. The colors are based on U.C. Berkeley's blue-and-gold colors.The BOINC logo and its variants are in the public domain. If you use one of them in a web page, we ask that you link it to the BOINC web site (currently https://boinc.berkeley.edu) or display this URL near the image.

The original BOINC logo
The name 'BOINC' refers to a particular sound. It was intended to convey humor and lightness. So I made a humorous logo:
- The logo in its native form as a Word document. The logo uses the Planet Benson font from Larabie Fonts.
- Hi-res versions of the logo: PNG, JPEG.
-
An icon for BOINC-related Podcasts, from Christian Beer:
The 'B in a circle' icon
was designed by Tim Lan.
The Mac variant was contributed by Juho Viitasalo.

Logo proposals
At some point - 2008 or so? - I decided it was time for a new logo. Realizing my own limitations as a graphic designer, I asked the BOINC community for proposals. There were lots of good ones:
