Thank you for Django. We still of course, hope to see you at future DjangoCons' :D > (But please, no more Django Pony. It's stupid.) Hear, hear!

What's wrong with magical ponies?

I think is cute.

The Pony logo was awesome. I wish it would've stuck more to be honest.

  I don't have a problem with the pony either, but there is another community that uses the pony, and the Django folks would rather not associate with.
  - thezoid 13y ago
    What other community are you talking about? The only one that comes to mind is the My Little Pony one.

      There's something on the fringe of MLP fandom that is often used to discredit MLP fandom. It is really something that ought not to be brought up here, but since I think someone will, I'll try to make an oblique reference to it: Rule 34. For mainstream fans it's really quite simple. Some extremely talented adults made a children's show. People of all ages enjoy and appreciate their work.

        If it exists, there is porn of it. If that's the argument against it, you can't have a logo, or icon or image of anything, ever. ANYTHING. EVER. Besides rule 34 ponies isn't what is leveled against the fandom. It's the 'fact' that they're all pedophiles. Pedophiles that apparently want to broadcast this fact.

Too girly? Maybe they could add a little machismo.

  Nah, things just get out of style from time to time. A great example I can think of is a cooking show on YouTube that started during the height of the zombie-revival, but now it just seems awkward that zombies are part of a cooking show at all. The time passed and the style changed. Similarly, ponies might be time to go.

    The Django pony was created several years before the recent MLP fandom. "I want easy HTTP handling. "I want a good web framework." "I want a pony." You want Django.

I like the Pony. But it sends the wrong message. Django is absolutely not magical.
