First of all, I really applaud the attempt to work on the webpy.org site. It needs a lot of work and is integral to the adoption of this framework. My criticism is not as constructive as I would have liked it to be, so please do not take offense.
I don't prefer this over the past version and the css white background does not work correctly when the main content is short. Look at : http://webpy.org/svn the bottom grey comes over the side menu and looks unprofessional. This page should have some content on it as well, but thats another discussion. This logo is stronger as far as concept, although I think in general we can do better than an image of snake for a web framework in a language called python. So, to be fair I didn't think the cartoon logo was that striking either. Look at the logo for Ubuntu or Firefox and you have the direction to aim for. Just for example, I could not sell either of these logos to any of my clients for their business so we should aim higher. This logo is not readable in any sort of way and since it is integrated into the words, it doesn't have its own space. For outsiders this will cause problems, and from a marketing perspective this is a drastic decision that will impact uptake. take my word for it. A logo's graphic should be able to be used without the accompanying text and still make sense, or else it should be more clearly typographic...compare Ubuntu's logo to McDoanld's. McDonald's can be used and is integrated into the name, but it is clearly an M. Ubuntu does not integrate with the text, but can be used without the text and the concept still rings true. Please move the snake to the left and spell out web.py. The typography needs to be stronger as well. So until then, old logo should stay. I would like to propose a logo and general guidelines for usage as are standard in the design industry. Please continue to work away at this as you integrate everyone's comments and I will email my contributions to put my money where my mouth is, as soon as I can. Looking forward to showing the maturity of the framework in its outer presentation materials. thank you again for your effort guys, keep iterating! hunter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
