I think you might experiment with another font for the main text, and try to incorporate some display of mathtext since this is a real selling point. We also need one version that is no wider that 200 pages for the sphinx navigation toolbar, so we will need to be judicious for that one. But the one for the web page can be much larger, and I like this as start. Is there anything we can do with the background to make it a little more interesting? A very large equation that spans most of the background but is so light in color (a gray with a low alpha) that it very faint? Also, the banner should be generated as a matplotlib figure rather than put together in inkscape or something like that. How did you make this -- if is code, please post so we can play along. If not, see if you can write the logo example by laying out the axes just so. JDH - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I've added the mathtext background and a few axes and there are a few more axes to do. In svn as examples/api/logo2.py I must admit, I was a little worried when you suggested adding a big equation in the background, but I think you did a good job of making it look nice. Unfortunately, I get an error when I try to run the logo2 script: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_ticklabels' module body in logo2.py at line 23 for label in ax.get_xticklabels() + ax.get_yticklabels(): If I comment-out that for-block, I run into another error: NotImplementedError: xlim not meaningful for polar axes module body in logo2.py at line 43 ax.set_xlim(-2*sigma, 2*sigma) I'm guessing the first error is a trunk vs. v0_91_maint issue? Is the second a naming error in the commit? Maybe axhist.set_xlim instead of ax.set_xlim? Overall I really like the new logo, but I'd like play around with it a bit for kicks.

Is the second You need to be on the trunk and I think I was a commit behind -- try it now. We will probably want to set the various ticklabel and title sizes to something really small using rc import matplotlib matplotlib.rcParams['xtick.labelsize'] = 6 so that we can tweak all these in one place at the top of the script.
