Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
I think last time it was one or two guys, so if they had to quit/break there wasn't a system to transfer. Perhaps if the site were on `git`, then we could easily have people make a change or two, without one guy having to devote full time to it. - On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 4:29 PM, Frozenball orkkiole...@gmail.com wrote: I hope the website gets the new look this time.

Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
Okay had a bit of a play around, added eye brows to accentuate expression and add character, moved the controller and tucked it in Snakey's tail. I dont think it can go any deeper as it will conceal too much of the controller. Also changed the position of Snakey's body so that it no longer conceals the M or the E and changed the drop shadow to a plain version. Somebody mentioned that this could be a good option for the release of Pygame 2.0, that sounds like a good idea whenever that might be. http://pygame-users.25799.x6.nabble.com/file/n950/pythonLogo_v02.jpg -- View this message in context: http://pygame-users.25799.x6.nabble.com/Pygame-look-and-feel-tp906p950.html Sent from the pygame-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
I like the concept. - The choice looks like it'd scale pretty well too, which might be a consideration. ( So that a 64px or so icon could work ) - It's more obvious that it's a snake Maybe the bottom right one (no text) would be a good icon/small sized. And a text one if it's bigger or a website.

RE: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
Nay, the M should not be the M in Pygame. Replacing letters with objects is usually a bad idea, esp. when the letter isn't significant. I think Aikiman should try putting the controller in the Python's mouth. Also, I think the python (perhaps we should name him?) should look a little less intimidating. He's a lot more frightening when compared to the old one. -Original Message- From: owner-pygame-us...@seul.org [mailto:owner-pygame-us...@seul.org] On Behalf Of Lenard Lindstrom Sent: Friday, October 04, 2013 11:07 PM To: pygame-users@seul.org Subject: Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel Looks good.

Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
The python is sometimes referred to as Snakey. I agree, leave the M as an M. I do find the lettering in the main example illegible. Too much is hidden by Snakey's body. In the top example Shakey is more of an afterthought. Maybe the PYGAME can be left out entirely, as in the lower right corner example. It can be included under the logo when desired. As for the python being frightening, I find it more daring, or risky. It reminds me of Sir Hiss http://youchew.net/wiki/index.php?title=Sir_Hiss.

Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
Good comments have been made. Initially I had the idea to make the M the controller but as suggested there kind of needs to be a reason for it - however I decided to see what it looked like anyway over last nights session on the computer - I think it works but perhaps it would be better somewhere else. I could try in the python's mouth but I dont really want to change his face in anyway as I feel I have captured its expression pretty well, he needs some character and the controller would take that away from him. Which brings me onto my second point how should the snake look. The logo style is based on 'retro cool' appeal - well at least thats where Ive tried to draw influence from :) I wanted a cheaky but half serious attitude. Trying to maintain some of the old logo of retro playfulness but taken out the goofy and replaced with serious cool. Note Ive also introduced it as a color concept carrying the old logo colors through but subduing them somewhat and adding stylistic shading. Also played with the placement of lettering for clarity bringing the E in front of the snake. In the next concept I think I will move the controller somewhere else and stick the M back in for starters. Ill sit on this for a couple of days and get back into it then.

Re: [pygame] Pygame look and feel
That looks nice. Maybe the python can hold the controller with his tail, ala Sir Hiss. I played a bit with having Snakey perched atop the letters, rather than wrapped around them. Just thoughts.
