Hey Dimitri, I completely agree with you in that Python needs once for all a cool logo. I like your design very much, but I have a few thoughts about it:
1) I think that Python's logo should reflect its power. If we use a mascot as its image, we would be giving the wrong idea: that Python is a "toy" language, instead of a very good alternative to other mainstream languages. 2) We should also bear in mind Guido's oppinion about using a snake for identifying Python. 3) And finally, we should consider it very seriously. Image is not everything, but it is very important for "marketing" a product. I'm sure that if Java didn't have a cool name and a cool logo, it wouldn't have been that succesfull. I don't mean to sound like I'm rejecting your idea. I really like it alot, and it is an excellent mascot. It's just that I wouldn't use a mascot... I'd rather use a more "killer" image. Something that reflects power and excellence. What do you think? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
