Personally, my opinion is that changing the logo would be not only
a mistake, but a branding nightmare. However, that doesn't mean there
isn't an infinite number of possibilities in modifying the existing
one: something as simple as a one-run animated GIF that has a gleaming
reflection running the outside border of the logo would be enough to
signal "change" without having people scream in horror, "oh, my God,
Microsoft(R) just bought PHP!"
