Actually Futura is the typeface I used for the logo. I only use it in
uppercase because I don't like the lowercase letters (on this typeface
- I have nothing against them in general!)

This is actually really hard, I have managed to create two gears of
different sizes that do lock together correctly (done using the letter
V and much adjusting of stretch and tracking to get them to sit right,
I will upload those at some point)

I did another gear [1], a bit darker with more intense reflection, too
dark for what we need I think but it looks pretty :-)

And another layout [2] not sure weather I'm moving forward or back
here, let me know what you think. I don't know why I keep putting this
area at the top of the home page (in layout-3 it's the yellow section)
I haven't put much thought into position of content or indeed what
content will appear on the page at all, so if you would all be so kind
as to make some suggestions as to what you want to see I can better
think about the actual structure of the page and what needs to be most
prominent.

For example, is this mostly for the *use* of the community, getting
latest updates, devcasts etc? or do we need something that is more
aimed at grabbing the attention of passers-by and get people excited
about turbogears as opposed to the competition?

Anyway it's almost Christmas so I probably wont be spending much time
on this until next year. Thank you all for your feedback.

Could be a nice marketing strategy, wallpapers, t-shirts and the like,
what about the turbogears desk calendar and mouse-mat (does anyone
still use them?) ;-)
