I've taken the time to update the content articles (wiki) of the current website, replacing all Pyjs occurences by their pyjs counterparts. Also, I've tried to take care that all pythons read "Python" (capital first letter), and all javascript reads "JavaScript" (CamelCase) everywhere on pyjs.org. What I also did, I removed the "Features" page and added its content as a new section to the "Overview" page. Anthony, as the automatic re-generation is disabled, could you please ... :-) >> No, the shadow is not part of the logo (neither is the light circular >> gradient around the logo) all stuff beside the logo was only for "logo >> presentation" purposes, to let things clear the logo is what follows :) > > this is looking really great Alex -- the 45deg snake head looks > awesome, like he's (she's?) look straight ahead at what's coming :-) > > it might just be me nitpicking, but the text feels a bit cramped to > me, ie. too close to the logo. it looks like the same space was used > as other letters, but the logo part is so much thicker than a letter > that it needs more whitespace ... but you're the pro so i defer to > your judgement. Alessandro, as it looks like you're the perfect designer, graphic artist, and font editor all in one person: Could you put the new logo as well as the font you modified into a single web-font file? That would just be great! I found a neat article on doing that: "How to make your own icon webfont" [1]. We should then put all the logos and icons we need into that font file in the Unicode Private Area [2]. More on best practices aka neat tricks is described in [3] and [4] (taken from the comments section of the article).

Styling the logo is easy with CSS3 as soon as we have a web font with logos and icons. We could even put the new logo on the current website, and adapt the color scheme accordingly, all with CSS only. Anyone having a great design idea, or at least a color preference for the pyjs.org website? Cheers, Peter --
