+1. The "yoshida mockup" looks very OSX-ish, but I don't like it as an icon for python. It's definitely not an order of magnitude better than the python.org logo, hence we should go with the official logo.

We need icons for:
* .py/.pyw document (generic document icon with logo as a batch)
* .pyc "document", like the .py icon but slightly different :-)
* IDLE Application icon
* Build Applet icon (or drop that tool?)

It would also be nice to have a generic icon for python application bundles. That is, the icon you get when you build an application with Build Applet or py2app when you don't specify another icon.

I have neither photoshop nor graphic skills, so it would be nice if someone else could create these icons.
