Also looks like Tux in white shorts! I like it visually, but the message is a bit difficult for me to read (not that it is easier with the current logo though
).
I actually love it, and it is by far my favourite out of all the “next” logos that we have tried/seen. I 100% agree that the goggles make the “image” link more explicit and double up as a scientific googles.
In addition to the b&w logo, I’d love a more colourful one. Suggestion: add a radial gradient using the mpl magma (or viridis, but I’ve always preferred magma) colormap, to simulate this kind of “ski goggle” look:
while evoking the scientific Python ecosystem. And also reflecting some magic/science.
re making a decision, I definitely don’t have much to say but I’m happy to just vote yay/nay among (semi-)active core devs after a complete proposal is put forward.
Yes, given the “tux” thing I also can’t unsee I’m planning to see if I can tweak the above icon a bit further. Maybe make the hat more crooked and wicked and tweak the glasses to be rounder. Just didn’t give it a priority and didn’t get around to it yet.
