php Logos and Brands

The “PHP” section, dedicated to the logo and visual history of the technology on which millions of websites around the world are built, is one of the most widely used server-side programming languages. PHP appeared in 1995 as a set of scripts for personal web pages and has grown into a platform that underpins WordPress, Facebook, and many other major projects. The PHP emblem, with its oval and abbreviation, has become one of the most widely reproduced technological symbols in the web development community. The section shows how the visual identity of an open-source project emerged in a community where the technology has no single corporate owner.
