PHP is an extremely popular scripting language used mostly in Web Development because it can be embedded within HTML. It is mostly database driven and works extensively with MySQL. If you follow the link, however, you will notice that the website and community look like they still live in the 90’s.
Well in this day and age scripting languages are becoming more advanced, and so have their marketing. My prime example is Ruby on Rails. Fairly new, but more importantly it looks fresh and new. Another example is Python which has at least a more modern logo.
This new identity pitch keeps the same feel as the old with just the letters php, and removing the beveled oval in place of beveled text. Also an updated, fresher color scheme.
This is my attempt at (finally) bringing the PHP identity into the 21st century. I will be contacting the PHP Group about it.
Cheers,
