Great work! Add an icon for Python egg files and you've covered all the
bases.

Personally, I *like* the new website look, and I'm glad to see Python
having a proper logo at last!

I've taken the opportunity to knock up some icons using it, finally
banishing the poor old standard-VGA-palette snake from my desktop. If
you like, you can grab them from:

I just wanted to say that I've been using these icons for almost a week
now and I love them! I'd like to reiterate EuGeNe's request that these
go into the Python 2.5 release if at all possible.

Whilst admitting that my preference is purely old fogeyism, I prefer the
older icons. However, there is one aspect which seems to be forgotten.
These logos/icons are much more abstract and so harder to describe
verbally. It's pretty easy to describe the existing Python icons: "can
you see a green snake on your desktop?". How does one describe these new
icons?

Can you see an icon with a blue and yellow plus on your desktop?

While cute... I'm afraid if I started seeing those things on my
desktop and in folders I'd think my computer had been taken over by
