Re: PHP Logo/Design

Hi Matthew We do indeed look like an outcast from the '90s but we are "working on it". The current layout design can be viewed at http://pb11.php.net/. Regarding the logo, although really ugly, we do like it :] you'll have a hard time convincing the team to change the logo for the next years atleast. I appreciate your effort in pushing us forward! :) -Hannes On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 22:33, Matthew Lettini <mlettini@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I wasn't sure who to send this to, but I think the webmaster is the > place.
