Re: PHPhish Logo

How about a tiger? After all PHP is vast (and dangerous). Alok K. Dhir wrote:

How about the "Phrog"? It's sort of a marine animal as well... Don't think there are any trademark infringements there. Although my guess is Phish wouldn't mind our using the 'Phish'. PHP is hardly in the same industry as the band... Or - how about "Phundulus"? http://zeus.mbl.edu/public/mrc/animals.php?func=detail&myID=F3196&source _myID=D1 Some quotes from the description: "most abundant species" "very hardy, existing in an environment of extremes" Seems appropriate, no? Good PHP metaphors. :)

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

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
