Morning!
I've done some tweaks to the previously-posted-about icon set, taking note of some of the comments here and on -list. In particular, amongst more minor changes:
- added egg icon (based on zip)
- flipped pycon to work better with shortcut arrow
- emphasised borders of 32x32 version of pycon, and changed text colour, in order to distinguish more from pyc. In balance I think this is enough of a change, though Nick Coghlan's idea of just using the plus in this case also has merit - indeed this is what happens at 16x16
- built .ico files without the Windows Vista enormo-icons. If the icons were to go in the win32 distribution, it probably wouldn't make sense to spend the considerably larger filesize on Vista icons until such time as people are actually using Vista.
- included PNG and SVG version of icons. The SVG unfortunately doesn't preserve all the effects of the original Xara files, partly because a few effects (feathering, bevels) can't be done in SVG 1.1, and partly because the current conversion process is bobbins (but we're working on that!). So the nice gradients and things are gone, but it should still be of use as a base for anyone wanting to hack on the icons.
- excised file() in favour of open() ;-)

Oh, and is the intention to deprecate the purple/green horizontal snake logo previously used for 'Python for Windows' (as well as PSF)? If so, Erik van B's installer graphic could probably do with a quick refresh.
cheers,
