Very new to Webware (or Python for that matter) so a little hesitant to 
offer suggestions as yet...  But while I like the design, I wonder if 
it really says anything about what Webware for Python does. I mean the 
suggestion could apply to any Python framework for any purpose.

Would something other than a wrench fit better? For example:

I know, there are several problems with this specific example, but 
perhaps someone could offer a better metaphor...

As for the concern that a 'mascot' is too cartoonish, there are plenty 
of examples to refute this. For example: Linux's Tux, BSD's Deamon, 
Darwin's Hexly, etc.  Personally, as a consultant I'd have no problems 
selling Webware to a client because of a cartoonish logo, as long as 
it's professionally presented (which Jason's design is I believe).
