Hi all,

My name is Vincent Maton and I'm graphic designer.
Laura Creighton told me that you are looking for
a new logo for Python then I work on the 
Python's logo and I do this model :
http://www.cstorm.be/bincgi/jobsfolder/mvm/python

What do you think about this logo ???
I hope this logo will interest you.


                       Cordially,

                   Vincent Maton
                    Web Designer

Hi Vincent!

We've been discussing the logo on py-design-forum.
http://wingide.com/mailman/listinfo/py-design-forum
pydotorg-redesign is for the general python.org website overhaul, a much
bigger and more complicated effort.  I will respond to your post in
py-design-forum.


Cheers,                     www.indiegamedesign.com

I like it, but I think that the PYTHON is too small.  I also think the
way the I and the O are combined to look like a P is a bit out of
whack -- when you see it as a P it's a P like a child would draw.  And
I'm not sure if I can get used to the upside-down Y.  But I like the
"style" of the logo a lot.  Perhaps you can vary the elements and
present some more choices?  BTW I like #11 best as far as colors go.
