Tarek came up with the idea and i liked it: testing in python
has an inofficial mascott: the testing goat.  And a shepherd
who takes care of the flock uses a pan flute.  Pan is the 
"the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds ..."
according to Wikipedia.  That's roughly the background.

I already fed back that i'd like to have this lower case.

You mean the panflute itself should only have one color?
I like the multi-colors ...

Yes, the logo needs to work without the claim but it's also nice
if it works with it - we could change the entry page of pytest.org
to make it fit i guess.

best,
