What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A nice logo. It seems like the python logo is doing "service" to the guy in
the couch! @.@ Gee

Ha, ha, brilliant ticket. The new versions work for me, more in keeping with 
the 
official CouchDB logo too.

This ticket could be finished very easy, no? Will the new logo be accepted?

Ok, now i feel kind of insulted. 8 months to pick or not a new logo...if the 
logo is being ignored for some reason, please, say so and refuse it.

Well, it's a derivative from couchdb logo so, i belive it should go with the 
same license http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Couchdb-logo.png

Other than that, i have no restrictions.

I believe that's the same license as the current logo as it is a derivative 
from couchdb logo as well.

Please, refuse it or approve it. This is a very simple issue open for a very 
long time.

Could you please upload the SVG version again? The RapidShare version has 
become unavailable.

Sorry, I don't want to do anything with this unless there is an SVG version of 
the image.

There was a SVG version but the rapidshare link seems to be broken. I'll remake 
the logo.

By the way, where is the current svg logo for couchdb-python?

Would you mind making the background transparent and the guy on the couch 
something off-white so that it doesn't look too weird on a white background?

Original comment by djc.ochtman on 21 Sep 2012 at 7:58

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You sure on this? The background seemed classy

Original comment by italo.maia@gmail.com on 21 Sep 2012 at 8:16

FWIW, I think that the background should be transparent and the dude in white.  
I like that it matches the official logo in colors.

If the guy is white, it will be hard to see his head; tough the gray skin did 
not fit very well. How about a voting poll? Gray guy vs Guy with background vs 
White Guy without background?

Hi Italo!
> If the guy is white, it will be hard to see his head; tough the gray skin did 
not fit very well.

Looks like this is not problem for http://couchdb.org - look at top of the 
page. However, I agree that it missed some part of his cool hair(: 
How about to add tiny black border for white parts that goes outside of red 
couch? AFAIK, that is a common practice for such cases and it might keep 
original logo colors, but just made it slightly better on while background. How 
do you like such idea?

Yes, you'd got it right. Small preview to easy compare it with other versions 
attached (sorry for hard resize, probably lines have be more smoother if I only 
know how to done it right).

IMO it should be just white guy, no need to stray from the official CouchDB 
logo.
