[Pydotorg-redesign] Some logo attempts

[Trevor Toenjes]

WOW!!!!    ...should say it all.

Kudos Tim.  You got your game on...

The direction for the homepage is nearly dead on for execution.
Brilliant.  The concept is very strong.  I havent seen anything proposed
come this close to what python needs.
Thank you for the time and thought commitment to develop this mockup and
bring some real creative to the table.  It's very lightweight and could be
easily maintained and updated.

I dont care particularly for the logo or the tagline.  I think we can be
more unique than infinities and nautilus shapes.  And I am not particularly
fond of integrating a symbol into a logo, and prefer strong fontography for
longevity.  Which, by the way, you are doing pretty good exploring the font
choices.  I still think a Gilliam-esque influence should be explored.  :)

IMHO, any symbology should be able to stand on its own for python's
identity, and I am not sure you can do that with the infinity symbol.

The tagline is also weak and there needs to be more discussion and new ideas
before that is nailed.  Consider a descriptor to help first timers "get it"
faster.
