I think MySQL has that already ;) At 12:33 PM 12/11/2001 -0800, Hugh Danaher wrote:

Maybe an animal beginning with "P" would be a good Mnemonic device (and

:/

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

It seemes to me PHP is very powerful tool and very popular among web-programmers, too. As for me I use php for solving web tasks for 2 years and I'm very satisfied with it. It seemes to me current PHP logo (can be found by http://www.php.net/gifs/logo.gif) doesn't suite to PHP. It's common logo without any idea except using title in it. I propose to create and develop new PHP logo corresponding to its power. My propose is WoodPecker (e.g. like Woody). Other propositions? Respectfully, Zliy Pes http://www.zliypes.com.ua
