That's true, I guess I just liked the austere, typographic appearance of the poster; putting the Europython logo on it would negatively affect its aesthetics, and I think that aesthetics trumps brand identity in this case, but maybe that's just me. I guess that ultimately the decision should be left to Yusdi.
I also agree with whoever said that "Euro Python" looks a little funky when it's two words. - Atul On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 9:02 AM, Michael Foord <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Its a good poster.
