+1 just for being much better looking than the current one. Python logo, Wikimedia colors, and a good-looking gear… I like it very much.
I do have a minor feedback (but no suggestion on how to address it, and I support your proposal as is, regardless of this issue): Since the MediaWiki reference is just the colors of the Python logo, we loose it if we change the logo to black and white (common for T-Shirts).

Hi!
I have been already talking on the IRC about an update to the current Pywikibot logo and would like to also announce it here to gather some feedback.
The reason for the proposal is mostly to make the project a little more recognizable and to also communicate that the project and the community around it is fun and also accessible to people that have a high technological barrier.
The current logo is here:

It uses yellow and blue that are used by the original Python logo:

I also looked at this logo and thought it looked quite nice, but I think that removing the gear is loosing a lot of the uniqueness of [1].
After some talks on the IRC I made this version, which I think would work really well on stickers and t-shirts as well, which could be distributed at workshops:

The logo uses the WMF colors and some variants that also use the green are here:

I also think it is good to leave the colors more or less open to adapt them according to taste or event theme. So I would mostly like to propose that we change the shape of the logo slightly and include the text to maximize the recognizability.
Would be very nice to get more feedback or a simple disagree/agree reply.
