> As such, stating accurately that software is written in the Python programming language, that it is compatible with the Python programming language, or that it contains the Python programming language, is always allowed. In those cases, you may use the word “Python” or [the unaltered logos](http://www.python.org/community/logos/) to indicate this, without our prior approval. This is true both for non-commercial and commercial uses.

I wanted to put the “python powered” logo at the bottom of the web page and set the Python logo as the favicon. I would just want to indicate that the project was written in Python, because I want to promote the language which has helped me a lot, and because I read somewhere that PSF would appreciate that.

Now a forum member got me thinking. What does the “python powered” logo truly mean? Would somebody draw the conclusion that there is a partnership or endorsement?

If the logo is ambiguous, I think it would be good if PSF made a logo which is tailored to cases like mine. “Written in Python”, maybe with a small footnote. If there were a logo like that, I would choose that one.

Can I use this logo like I described, is it better to just use words, or is it best to just drop the reference altogether?
