PHP Logo - Michael Blasdel


My logo is a redesign for the PHP group. They have been using an outdated and highly pixilated logo since their conception. I maintained their coloring and tagline and reworked the rest.

The logo uses a traced elephant as the core icon of the logo, with stylized text for the title. The majority of the logo is contained within a block design element combining the two parts, but allowing for easy deconstruction and reworking. The elephant was used in early concepts to distinguish PHP, and was originally inside joke among the developers. By bringing that part of the heritage of PHP back into the logo I feel it has more identity than the purely textual logo currently in use.
