What do you think of this Python logo?

[Kevin Ollivier]

The good: I like the abstract snake design, the curves are really
dynamic and give a sense of movement. Shows a cool snake, but not in a
scary or intimidating way. Looks very professional.

The bad: The whitespace. I didn't realize that the blue lines were a
snake until I read a few other comments... My eyes were brought to the
whitespace and globe in the middle. While I didn't see the sperm
reference, it looked like a curled up tadpole to me. =) In that sense,
the globe fits as an eye for the tadpole... <G> So I was left
wondering how that fit with Python.

Have you considered trying a design with a slithering snake? (Like on
O'Reilly's Python Library Reference.) The snake here looks good, but
the whitespace in the middle looks like something to many people. The
slithering, 'zig-zag' design of the snake would make the snake
reference more apparent. Or maybe use the snake to form a letter (like
P as someone suggested, that would probably look neat) or some other
shape or symbol that could be used as a reference to Python.

Or, if you want to use the globe, I'd suggest making it fill the white
space - have the snake circle the edges of it - literally wrap the
globe. (Although this may cause the snake head to be obscured...)

Just some thoughts. I think this is one of the most professional
looking logo designs I've ever seen for Python!
