I must admit, I was a little worried when you suggested adding a big  
equation in the background, but I think you did a good job of making  
it look nice. Unfortunately, I get an error when I try to run the  
logo2 script:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_ticklabels'

module body in logo2.py at line 23
for label in ax.get_xticklabels() + ax.get_yticklabels():

If I comment-out that for-block, I run into another error:

NotImplementedError: xlim not meaningful for polar axes

module body in logo2.py at line 43
ax.set_xlim(-2*sigma, 2*sigma)

I'm guessing the first error is a trunk vs. v0_91_maint issue? Is the  
second a naming error in the commit? Maybe axhist.set_xlim instead of  
ax.set_xlim?

Overall I really like the new logo, but I'd like play around with it a  
bit for kicks.

Thanks!
