I think it's a great idea to look carefully at branding as a whole,
and not take any changes lightly. Thanks for getting that ball
rolling, Thomas.<br>
<br>
One thing that occurred to me today, as I walked into the Javits
Center and saw the matplotlib logo reproduced about 5 feet wide on a
banner hanging above the expo hall, is that we have a lot of inertia
in the current design, and we shouldn't take any change lightly. As
much as we are moving to a better color map, the colors in the logo
(and the orange especially )are a strong part of the branding and
branding in Scipy projects in general.<br>

done in that direction until after our wedding next month.

we do so, then it should be a much more significant

better because of the wide variety of colors. Uniform
perception isn't a needed trait for graphs like those.</p>

at the current logo, I wondered whether we would

Playing around with the examples/api/logo2.py I
found changing line 68 to:<br>
<br>
bar.set_facecolor(cm.viridis(r/8.))<br>
<br>
gave pleasing results with the largest wedge getting
coloured green (see attached for uncropped version).<br>
