My Design for Python Icon

I was playing around in GIMP the other day and decided to whip up a new Gnome icon for Python. I think the blue and yellow icon is rather ugly, and short of finding something satisfying on the web, I decided to make my own.

Very impressive. I snagged a copy for my pc. Will be back to check up on your work.

Thank you. My skills are very amateur, especially back when I made this, but I'm glad you like it. I'd really like to see some professional graphic designers go for a better logo and icon. Maybe now that Python 3.0 is out, they will find a new one.

Very cool! Much more stylish than the old icon. It also conveys the power behind the Python program!

thanks -- i think it looks definitely better than the blue / yellow icon. it just could be a slightly be brighter -- the lower right is hard to see when i have the icon in my panel.
