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

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

It should be simple to create in a vector graphic (no point doing it
Agreed (and, yeah, the source for that is a vector image). Since a
pylon's very angular and has a fairly distinct profile, I think it
lends itself well to an abstract, line-art vector image. If you get
the right perspective, it can feel like a very big, proud and imposing

I know the trend is to ask a professional to handle this, but why not
begin with a logo contest to collect ideas ?
