    Re: What do you think of this Python logo?

    Aha, You should be humorous. But it indeed makes some sense.

    I like the idea behind the pic: neat, simple. But I don't like the shape
    of the snake.

      The font is the traditional beauty products font Optima, which I don't
      think is the image that should get across. Although... Make up your
      code with Python! sounds silly enough at this time of morning that it
      could work.

        I don't mind the snake, but I would lose the planet ("Python is taking over
        the world!" ... ahem ... right ... ok, then ...), and perhaps add eyes, so
        it looks less like sperm. I would also probably move the snake logo into the
        text to replace the 'O' in Python. (I think I saw an early version of this
        where that was done). It's odd - sure, it's a coiled snake beside the word
        "Python" but, for some reason, they don't really seem to have anything to do
        with one another. At least, not to me.

        Anyway. If I could draw, I would probably try to make the snake in the shape
        of the letter "P" - something like this
        http://chat.carleton.ca/~sross/py.JPG (only not drawn with a mouse in
        MSPAINT, like this was :). Kind of a cross between "GAP" and the Portishead
        logo - um, but with a snake. Slick it up a bit and it might make a good
        T-Shirt ... or, not ...

        OK, so, good luck with whatever it is you're doing,
        Sean

        p.s.

        The logo at python.com (yeah, _that_ python.com) with the green, bared-fang
        snake, and the electrified "Powered by Python" is pretty cool (though not
        really corporate, which is what it looks like you're after). Too bad it's on
        a porn site ...

          All the logos seem to be purely snake oriented. There is nothing about the
          Monty kind of Python. I don't think a snake with a silly walk would work as
          a logo. Maybe a snake with a napkin on its head?

              I don't like the planet either - it's just too "detailed" for a
              stylized logo. Perhaps it could be a more simplistic spherical object,
              like, say, a pearl :-)?

                  All attempts to link Python the language with Python the snake are
                  ultimately ill-advised, due to the origin of the name Python - see


                  Much better to stick to a Monty Python-inspired theme, incorporating a
                  mascot like this http://solair.eunet.yu/~janko/birdman.gif but with the
                  BDFL's smiling face substituted, of course. Or maybe the Python Software
                  Foundation could ask Terry Gilliam to design a logo, pro bono. Just tell
                  him that every Python user would then be honour-bound to see all his
                  future films (that should increase their box-office take by at least
                  100%...I can't understand why Munchausen, or Brazil weren't
                  blockbusters, and what a pity The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was
                  stillborn - see
                  http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,...a1870,00.html).

                    Oooohh... *very* good. ;-)

                    Too subtle, perhaps? Python is supposed to be explicit... maybe it
                    should be a Python crushing a camel. :-)

                      How about the letter 'P' with a python entwined around it followed by the
                      rest of the letters? The font is fine.

                        I understand the desire to incorporate fun into Python, but I fear that any
                        Monty Python inspired logo will connote frivolity. I don't think that's
                        the image that should be conveyed.

                        My initial take on the logo in the base note is that I like the cleaness of
                        it. However, it took too much effort to recognize the outer loop as a
                        snake, let alone a python. I kind of like the idea of a snake wrapped
                        around the P.

                          A snake wrapped around a failed project would be even better, but
                          I will admit that I can't figure out a good, immediately recognizable icon
                          for a failed project...
