Agreed. I wasn't suggesting that. I was suggesting that the new *logo* be incorporated into the icon, in some fashion, not any of the new *icons* being developed around that logo for the website. I still think it's a good idea. It would be nice to have some point of graphic unification for the community. Specifically, I was thinking of an incorporation of this graphic element: http://www.fastmirrors.org/python/pub/beta.python.org/resources/design/logo/python-logo-master-flat-symbolonly.png Andrew Clover's icons have the virtue of doing this: http://www.doxdesk.com/img/software/py/icons.png though I think the logo in them is somewhat too front and center, and kind of obscures the main purpose of the icon. By the way, a recent posting on python-dev (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063517.html) intimates that those icons are coming to the various standard releases. A spec for usage of the new logo is at http://www.fastmirrors.org/python/pub/beta.python.org/resources/design/logo/python-logo-master-flat-usage.png We can get the vector versions of the logo if you need them. > Also, I think it's a valid point that the Python > logo is really not OS X/XP-style (It's reminiscent of BE's style to > me, actually), and I really think the best way for an icon to say "OS > X" is to be in the OS X style. Right, and I think the thing to do would be to "OS X"-ize the flat logo and incorporate it into the design. For instance, the flat checkerboard the block-snake is standing on might become the flat logo instead.
