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...?
