Re: proposed Python logo

The simplest and most widely known Monty Python image I can think of is a dead parrot. So maybe an upside-down parrot? Could be nice and colorful too, not to mention memorable. It is true that many won't make the connection between some kind of Monty Python image and the Python language, as they w

Mike, Excellent artwork! I don't like reinventing the wheel so I propose we reuse someone else's work. I propose something like: http://www.dvdweb.co.uk/reviewgfx/bompfc1.jpg which symbolizes Python's ability to quickly implement many coding ideas or: http://www.phill.co.uk/comedy/python/pyth
