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:

If you're particularly creative, you could even put a little Sleestak
on patrol between the two pylons. :)

happened to the first one.)
