hi there I'm guessing the probable reason that the pylons framework was so named in the first place is because the actual pylons codes' chief role is to supply the 'wires' between various mvc components. in light of this, perhaps the logo should concentrate more on the concept of wiring and grids rather than pylons themselves?
some the the graph theory type representations with model, view and control as the nodes may prove inspirational albeit generally too fiddly Its kind of unfortunate that the recycle logo already exists since i feel this would be ideal to represent pylons (see http://www.istockphoto.com/imageindex/581/0/581051/Green_Recycle_Symbol.html), Some reasons the recycle logo would be good: o represents triad of model, view, control o represents the connections between three components o also looks kind of like three snakes with it being green o 'environmental' connotations - instead of connotations of ugly pylons/power stations of course we can't use the recycle logo but perhaps someone can build upon it? i.e. refashioning the arrows into stylised snakes similar to the blue/yellow python logo or perhaps including simple representations of the mvc components at the arrow heads brendan On 6/26/07, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm very new to Pylons.
