Hi,

That's an Easter Egg that, with a certain probability, replaces your 
logo with one of a set of alternative graphics.

I believe hard-refreshing the logo URL (see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BYPASS) will force it to choose 
again, and most likely revert to the standard logo.

Incidentally, there's a separate list for the documentation vs the 
internals of PHP itself where this would be better addressed. See 
http://php.net/mailing-lists.php

(On the other hand, if a small animated GIF is too much for your browser 
to handle, I don't fancy your chances of using most modern websites 
smoothly!)

Regards,
