A GUID/UUID is always a safe bet, on linux you can use the uuidgen tool to create such a unique identifier, other systems should provide similar tools.
Example:
$ uuidgen afa5e8bc-a6e4-4305-9a62-872bf1b4b450
(you can also use the uuid extension from PECL)

Basically what your saying is that it is a unique ID of randomly generated hex values based on an algorithm with no significance other than being unique, made unique over both space and time by combining a value unique to the computer on which it was generated, usually the Ethernet hardware address and a value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since October 15, 1582 at 00:00:00.
I was expecting the value to have some kind of meaning or divine purpose, not something so random in meaning and generation.
I'll use a generated value from uuidgen with "PHP" prepended for the sake of semantics.
Thanks for the response and enlightenment.
Is there also a utility to generate the the logo in the required text syntax or should I just create a quick hack to get the job done?
