proposed Python logo

[Michael Yanowitz]

   How about having something from Monty Python in the logo rather
than something snakelike. Python was named after Monty Python and not
the snake. Snakes also don't appear friendly to me.
  I used to have rats as pets. Snakes are murderers of rats. Which I
do find strange that there is a rat on the cover of "Learning Python"
by Oreilly but a Python snake on the "Progamming Python" by Oreilly
book.
   I think something from Monty Python (I haven't watched it recently
to know what would be ideal) would be more appropriate than an ugly
reptile which is usually associated with evil and our reason for leaving
the Garden of Eden.

  (Take me serious or not, I don't care, this is just my opinion,
but with a little humor.)

Thanks in advance:

Sorry dude, but it looks like a hairdryer! Imagine it at 16x16 pixels
or smaller, and it'll look like little more than a circle with two
sticks. The current image scales well.

I think that the current logo is fine. Much more professional than the
old image. The + formation is positive enough, and it has a yin-yang
feel to it which to me conjures up the image of balance, not
divisiveness.
