HTML5: The Logo

So the W3C has given HTML5 its own identity. The HTML5 logo was designed by Ocupop design agency — It looks good; I like it. But what is it for? Well it helps to spread the word about this soon to be (2022) standard of web design, It works though a lot of the elements of HTML5 are stable and it’s good to use it for projects because it’s better to be ahead of the crowd, you don’t want to be learning it later on when everyone else knows all the ins and outs.

If you go to the W3c HTML5 logo page you will find the ‘Badge Builder 5000′ allowing you to create your own badge with clip-on technology class icons to show site visitors what technologies your shiny website utilises — like ‘web scouts’ except your mother doesn’t sew the badges on the ‘Badge Builder 5000′ does.

Do we need a HTML5 logo? Yes. Yes we do, because this is the age of the social web and HTML5 is suppose to be the cornerstone of this web. So print it off, photograph it and don’t forget to use the hash tag #html5logo because it’s meant to be a social thing, and even if all that comes from it is a better web design community I’m all for it.
