I agree with Bruno's thoughts on the current logo (i.e., #5 and #17 on the logovote site). It is based on Massimo's thoughtful design concept -- if you missed his message about it, you can read it here: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/dc9b9c33246c985b
- It is straightforward, broadly appealing, and professional. - It includes some nice subtle symbolism, particularly the "overlapping characters to represent tight integration of web2py components" (which is a real distinctive of web2py). - It has already received positive public feedback. - It already has a range of color variations, stickers, and a favicon that work well (see "web2py artwork" at the bottom of http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/download). There are some promising concepts among the other logo entries, but I don't think any are as refined or production-ready as this one.
