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

[Floris Bruynooghe]

FWIW I'm slightly sad not to see the happy familiar smiley in the logo.
Somehow that's the main visual that springs to mind when I'm thinking of
tox.  Otherwise I can concur with 22/23.  I also like the 33-style,
Oliver does a good job arguing for that as well ;-)

Cheers,
Floris
