WTF does a markup standard need its own logo for Pete's sake anyway. Imagine if we had a logo for every bloody RFC internet standard. Little colored round-cornered squares with HTTP/TLS/SMTP/IMAP/LDAP stamped in each of them.

The web community is obsessed with this "neat, tidy" shit while the all the standards involved (HTML, JS, CSS etc) are a dog's breakfast.

Actually, that'd be kind of nice.

At least for how my brain works, having a little picture to hang the information off of is easier than having to memorize a slew of TLAs and FLAs.

Maybe I should rough out some logos for these things for myself.
