Vote on comissioning new PyPA logo

I'm calling for a vote to create a logo for Python Packaging Authority (and sub-projects). Detailed discussion and information might be found at https://discuss.python.org/t/selecting-a-logo-for-the-pypa/14657, but here's a quick outline. Currently, the logo as shown on Python Packaging Authority is just the PSF
Relevant to the discussion is also The Packaging Platypus -
Dustin Ingram said that the PyPA does home some funds via Tidelift and PSF to allocate for creating this. The vote is to see if we all agree that this is something we should do. The logistics of choosing the design and contractor will be done separately if this vote goes through. Thanks, Bernat

Currently, the logo as shown on Python Packaging Authority is just the PSF Python logo and the word pypa written beside it (see https://github.com/pypa). We could create something more unique that identifies Python packaging tools. For reference here’s what rust is doing Create a more rustic icon for Cargo: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4446. My idea would be to have a Python snake encircling a box and leave the content of the box to be a stylized capital P. The P here would represent both the language Python and also the P from the Packaging group/team/authority (whichever we choose to go by). Furthermore, child projects under PyPA could replace the box content with their own sub-logos, e.g. the build tool could put a gear icon into it. Relevant to the discussion is also The Packaging Platypus -https://discuss.python.org/t/the-packaging-platypus/1939. I find the platypus great as an overall logo for Python packaging, but sadly it’s not really reusable for packaging projects and doesn’t translate well as a favicon either due to the lower pixel count available in there.

I though pypa had a logo. Am I thinking of warehouse? I’d be in favor.

+1 from me on the idea. I'm worried of legal implications of changing the inside box. If/when we get a logo, I hope it won't be just a final Png, but the original source(s) with brand guideline like "those are the hex values of the color, this is the font... " I've seen to many projects being stuck with low-res jpeg after weeks of work. Thank you for spearheading this. -- Matthias On Wed, 30 Mar 2022 at 00:17, Jason R. Coombs <jaraco@jaraco.com> wrote:
