Re: PHP.net Identity: Colors

I love that PHP.net uses purple as its main color. It's fairly unusual and special, which are important attributes of any identity.

I'm not very good with colors... the odd time that I've worked with purple it's been a bit of a challenge, but I think we should keep it. Yellow/gold and green should go well. I think they are among the few colors that will compliment it: http://bit.ly/1vVRXd

Should we be using more imagery? - Daniel: Currently there are almost no images on PHP.net. It's fast, efficient, and clean because of this. But, it's also staid and monotone. Perhaps we should start limited use of icons and images where appropriate. Maybe we could choose a specific icon package to start using – the Tango icons are good, for instance, though they're limiting and are fairly generic. Other suggestions?

Yes!

Photos from conferences, etc. There are over 900 photos in the elephants pool on flickr: http://bit.ly/d5w8d ...and how cute is this? http://bit.ly/TdxuU Stew
