I've been giving a few presentations about BOSH and sometimes I joke that it doesn't have a logo.

In the theme of BOSH being for large or legacy applications, for "big iron", for "heavy duty lifting", the logo idea I'd propose tonight is the big dump truck used in quarries. The big big yellow ones.

Like this -

+1 on the dump truck. 

on a side note, if you add a "c" to 'bosh' you can discover the original design diagram:


seriously though, what does 'bosh' mean?  urbandictionary has a few unsavory definitions-- and some interesting ones.  i see bosh is also a portion of a blast furnace.

my original thought was that it's a modification/nod to hieronymus bosch.

Should vcap have one also?

Vcap has the Cloud Foundry logo I guess. Or CF has a weird internal project called vcap :)

hi Nic,

does this mean that BOSH is different and decouple from CF if vcap using CF logo.

bosh-aws
bosh-vsphere 

bosh-openstack
bosh-cloudstack

To me:
* vcap is/was part of Cloud Foundry
* bosh is one of the ways to deploy Cloud Foundry

We can't use that picture specifically - no idea where I found it, so don't know it's license :)
