[pytest-dev] pytest logo previews / please check drafts out

[Brianna Laugher]

Woohoo bikeshedding! :)

Some of the very stylised flutes kind of look like charts, where you could
imagine your test coverage increasing over time - I like that. Although
they are kind of the wrong way around. But! I also really like #16, which
has the old-school feel similar to the Flask logo. (Maybe just a different
font for the name?) And it has the dots, which are like watching your
passing tests fly by.

For the flatter style, #4 and #5 are nice. Bordering on boring though. :)

If we use a coloured one, I like the idea in #20-23 that "py" is coloured
differently to "test".

cheers
Brianna
