Here’s my attempt at a PHP London logo. It’s just a bare logotype, but might form a basis for more elaborate designs:
It’s derived from the official PHP logo which is provided as a vector outline. I couldn’t find or identify the typeface – it looks a bit like Eurostile or ProFont (but it isn’t either) – so I redrew the characters to match.
Obviously there is scope for all kinds of arrangements (and not outlining), but at least we now have a "London" in a typeface that exactly matches the logo.
For those that like to twiddle, here is the Illustrator CS2 file (should be PDF compatible, probably need to right click to download it as it has a dumb mime type). The file also includes an uncombined version. Creative Commons License.
Safari & CSS User Interface colours
I’ve recently encountered a stylesheet that uses the CSS user Interface colours defined here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html
My attention was drawn to it because it was a problem. a:hover was defined as color:HighlightText, and body had background-color:Background, the result of which was that I got white text on a white background when rolling over links. This makes it sound like these values are not set properly by Safari, or that it doesn’t match Safari’s own internal style sheet. For example if I select text on a page with neither of these styles set (i.e. black text on white), I get my system selected background colour, but the text remains black. This would indicate that Safari considers HighlightText to be black by default. But when I ask for that colour by name, I get white instead. Is this a bug?
