RE: [PHP] Logo proposal

Maybe an animal beginning with "P" would be a good Mnemonic device (and good for alliteration; think "The PHP Panda" or "The PHP Platypus".) Hmm, I guess Panda and Platypus aren't particularly "powerful" animals, though. :/ Other animals beginning with "P": Pelican Panther (cheesy) Polliwog Protozoa Of course, the Penguin is already spoken for. :) Personally, I don't have a problem with the current PHP logo... From a marketing standpoint, I don't know; has MySQL become a more attractive prospect to the pointy haired bosses of the world since they streamlined their logo and added a Dolphin? It would be interesting to know. If PHP was going to adopt a mascot, I kinda like the idea of the Platypus. If you want to force a metaphor, think of PHP as an interesting language that fits between traditional scripting languages and the HTTP server - sort of like the Platypus is an interesting critter that fits somewhere between mammal and.. whatever else. :) -Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Ward [mailto:Tim.ward@stivesdirect.com] > Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 2:02 AM > To: PHP; Valentin V.
