[BioPython] New logo try-out

[pan at uchicago.edu]

IMHO, a logo doesn't have to contain ALL the elements that it
represents, otherwise the logo might become too complicated and
the image will be less powerful and less impressive. It's just
like to highlight something you feel important --- if you 
highlight ALL elements, then the 'highlight' loses it's meaning.

The logo Thomas submitted is already complicated enough. IMHO, 
any effort to make it even more complicated might lose the 
impact the image provides.

Well, just my two cents.
