What are ElePHPants?
More than swag. A shared piece of PHP culture.
The tradition started with Vincent Pontier’s blue ElePHPant logo and grew into collectible plush mascots handed out at PHP conferences, user groups, and by sponsors around the world. Each design marks an event, a company, or a moment in the community. Collectors call their sets herds, and no two are exactly alike.
