Hi, I'm very new to Pylons. When I first heard the name, the very first thought that popped into my head was a weird one. Remember "Land of the Lost"? :) Yup. The magical and mysterious Pylons. Here's a picture of one: http://www.70slivekidvid.com/land/grumppylon.jpg . The T-Rex give the picture some scale. ;)
So, I headed over to pylonshq, and was immediately struck by the image of a more modern pylon used as a graphic for the site. The first thing I thought was something like, "Oh my, no. Why?". Electrical towers are these dirty, pointy, dangerous metal things that mar otherwise lovely natural landscapes. Folks have been electrocuted on them. On more than one occasion, Godzilla got caught in some wires strung between a pair of them. Classic Pylons, OTOH, might give an impression of being a gateway. A sturdy solid entranceway. "Python's gateway to web development" maybe -- dunno. They are also usually shown as being golden colored, and the gold color would go nicely with the current green Pylons website theme. I'm certainly no graphic artist, but here's a 5-minute graphic of the beginnings of the sort of logo I'd expect to see for Pylons: http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/temp/pylons_logo-like_idea.png. If you're particularly creative, you could even put a little Sleestak on patrol between the two pylons. :) ---John (Note: 2nd time composing and posting this message.
