This document traces the history and design process of the Python logo. It discusses the 1990s logo designed by Just van Rossum and Erik van Blokman. In 2006, Tim Parkin redesigned the logo to be more friendly while retaining simplicity and memorability. Parkin's logo was inspired by Mayan snake representations and used cross, spiral, and yin-yang shapes to evoke primitive meanings. The new logo launched alongside a python.org redesign.
