It is still very recognizable as the PHP logo. By removing the oval background (the most dated aspect of it), the logo now works with a modern design. Given that we don't want to develop a new logo, I think that what Daniel has done is the most sensible thing to do. I think it might be more impact-ful in black on a white background. That would require a different layout. > I was thinking a bit more dynamic.

As you note, a flashy layout will date more quickly. That said, Daniel's comps are a tad too button-down for my taste. He also said that they are rough. I agree that we should introduce some more dramatic elements. We could perhaps accomplish this with some bolder colors or a few subtle effects. Daniel, what do you think? I hope you haven't decided to use these three weeks off as an excuse to actually relax or something :) Stew
