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 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:
