Need new favicon!

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 12:45 am

The curent favicon we have has been the same for long, it's time for a change, and something much better. So if anyone wants to give a try, go nuts! Basically a 16 by 16 pixel image 256 colors or less. A 32x32 one would be great too though it's rarely needed. format does not matter since I'll convert it to a real .ico file after.

If you don't know what the favicon is, it's the icon that's in the address bar.

Cool. I'll give it a try. A print screen seems to be all I'll need. Saves me the time of measuring

I also have this one. I tried to put letters IT in it, but it just didn't look as good. And as an added bonus, when I converted it into a JPG, the compression caused color blending (as usual with JPEGS) and it looks 20% better than the original because of it)

Okay, here's my last one. See if this one's good. (Note, background color might want to be changed.)

You'd be right Manadren. It IS from SMB3. Suprisingly, those pictures were EXACTLY the right proportions. It spells "It's a SIGN" to me

Hmmm cool, reminds me of a stamp. OMG, you could make ICETEK STAMPS! People paying for shipping and junk, put stamps on it.

hahaha I wonder how that works though, since there's all sorts of stamps, I wonder if I can just submit it to the post office or something.

I just added the new favicon, the SMB ice cube one. Though I can't seem to figure out how to get firefox to forget about the old one and retrieve the new one. So for firefox users it may take a long time before you see it, and for some reason it does not work in IE, but hopefully it's just a cache issue and that eventually it will catch on.

Ya, the favicon just catched on. Took awhile, maybe 5 min for me. But I just noticed it. Just figured I'd tell ya (Oh, in I viewed it in Firefox of course, I don't deal with Spyware BS). IE, you're on your own.

Ya, the one in the favourites folder didn't change though. I'm not sure how that works though. Whether you have to upload it there as well is beyond me.
