[TIP] logo drafts for tox! (comments welcome)

[Oliver Bestwalter]

Hi,

I would really want to to like 23, but it feels wrong to me. The sign
creates an association that it is a way towards something and then the name
tox starts to read like "to X" to me , but I don't want to go to X, because
X is a failed test. If anything I want to go from X to . (or 'o' as short
for 'ok' or a really, really big dot). If tox was called "txo" that would
work, because then we could have a red X - the failing test - and then a
green circle (o, dot, whatever). But like this the direction is wrong and
it does not help to make the X green. An X is a failed test- a green X is
just ... weird to me.

I like the idea of the typographically really heavy suggestions later on
(but without those colored circles in them, they don't really do it for
me). There is an idea of solidity behind it, that I can really get on board
with. Like: tox is this really solid tool, that helps you get your testing
and CI automation out of the way. Like a big trusty hammer. If Thor would
be a developer - he would use it. He would definitely use it like his
trusted Mjölnir to smash all the bugs in the programs ... or something like
that. A double headed hammer like that can double as a T from tox.
Something like this:

So maybe the word "tox" in a really simple but very, very heavy font with a
mjölnir like hammer above it?

Cheers,
Oliver
