Somehow this makes me think of the cover of the Tintin album "L'Île Noire"

Perhaps a similar composition with close/far subjects and clean flat text would work better… as it is now, I find it too dark/dramatic for the subject matter, and I find the word art floating over water cheesy and making little sense, sorry…

Another inspiration where the 3D text would work better would be the Philémon's letters in the Atlantic (it's a surrealist universe where the letters spelling OCÉAN ATLANTIQUE on a world globe are really letter-shaped islands) : http://iteror.org/big/img/i/Philemon_leA.jpg

    Yeap thats the idea, being unique is my goal , though still
    developing my style.

    I am also not a fan of flat designs , with exceptions those that
    also carry a unique style.

        This skeuomorphic render in an age of flat design... We
        definitely are not on the mainstream.

                would it be possible to have

                I did not want to go with the original design because
                frankly that is not my style. I rather have something
                unique.

                Extruding the logo would look very boring and its
                definitely something I dont want to do.

                I love the original design because it is really suits
                many scenarios including icons and because its a good
                design.

                However here we dont talk about a simple logo to be
                used everywhere, this is a book cover and plus Stef
                asked me to use this that I have created in the past.
                The original design can continue to be around since
                it can serve many other roles.

                Python books for example rarely use the python logo,
                usually they have some painted snake or even mouse
                etc. By rarely I mean extremely rarely.

                Another reason is that 3d graphics are quite hard to
                make , so its not that simple for me to start from
                scratch and have something ready in 1 day. The only
                thing I can do is tweak this to make it slightly better.

                On a question of form, its not a problem this is a 3d
                scene as such its extremely flexible on how I can
                render this, it can be resized in any way and change
                in proportion.

                In any case I have zero issues with going with the
                original cover or a design not made by gets picked. I
                made this render because I will use it as a
                background to my blog anyway so it wont go to waste.

                    Nice, but I guess this was originally for
                    something else since its not
                    in the book form factor which will change your
                    composition.  It would
                    be good to see a sample in book form factor.

                    Also Pharo has its brand with the lighthouse in
                    the big-O that I guess
                    it would be good to follow like the other books...

                    How would it look to extrude logo.svg from here...?
