The Python logo, for the programming language, is presented as a combination of a signature graphic mark and a text inscription. The graphic mark has a cross-like shape with rounded elements and consists of two interlocking parts that resemble snake silhouettes: the upper part is blue, the lower part is yellow; each has a round “eye” dot, and there are straight cutouts inside that form the recognizable pattern. The mark can be used on its own or together with the “python” wordmark set in lowercase letters.
Python is a free programming language created by Guido van Rossum; development began in the late 1980s, and the first public versions appeared in the early 1990s. The name Python is not related to a snake image but to the comedy show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, which the author referenced when choosing the name. The ecosystem’s development and community support are handled by the non-profit Python Software Foundation, which maintains the rules for using the “Python” trademarks and the logo.
