Somehow this makes me think of the cover of the Tintin album "L'��le Noire"http://www.images-booknode.com/book_cover/265/full/les-aventures-de-tintin---l-ile-noire-265103.jpg
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 Phil��mon's letters in the Atlantic (it's a surrealist universe where the letters spelling OC��AN 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.

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...?
