which favicon?

[Vatican Assassin]

use this one, it's original, it looks best, people like it, give it clear back ground and engage, i have enough basic continuum icons on my screen

meddis is best, #4 is second best

as far as the yellow versus orange debate, the yellow has a slight issue. if i leave it on just a transparent background, it doesn't show up worth crap against a light background. just about all browsers use light colored backgrounds for tabs by default. i purposely darkened the image (which turned it orange) to allow for better contrast.

as for an animated favicon, hell fucking no. they are way too annoying, not to mention anything other than an .ico file is non-standard and will not necessarily work across multiple browsers (and older browsers). you can't animate an .ico file.

so... that leaves us with two choices i suppose. either we deal with this one ( ) not showing up all that well, or we go with this one ( ) as vati suggested and i can take away the square background and just make it transparent.

more feedback, if you please! :nice:

yo, whatever the favicon is right now... its the same one as the TW official website, and so in my bookmarks i frequently click the wrong link and get to tw homepage instead of forums.

i know its possible to cook up a script to let you change the favicon to suit a user's preferences, but failing that, at least make it something that isnt identical to TW.org homepage favicon!!

even though the main tw site is due for a design refresh, i think i'm going to change it's favicon to the orange and white TW image for consistency's sake.

and then i'll set the forums favicon to whatever we decide upon in this thread.

just for you jerome. :kiss:

Do Jason's bronze colour with meddi's rotating thing on a black square background?

who will be the first trench warrior to go through an enemies post history and deploy an ordinance of dislikes thus shattering their foes street credit and self-esteem? who is the true forum highlander?

speaking of which, the add-on we're using has a feature whereby if a post reaches a certain negative rating (calculated as likes - dislikes), it will auto-collapse and you have to click to expand it.

of course, the feature is currently disabled, but i'm just throwing that out there.

[Zeebu]

that would suck

as for an animated favicon, hell fucking no. they are way too annoying

all of this

[roxxkatt]

orange shield sucks btw

[Jason]

i'm gonna go with vati's suggestion and try out the wb symbol one. i just have to tweak it a little first. might have time to do it tonight, but if not, i'll do it over the weekend.

[Jason]

okay, so take a look at this. these are all the choices i can muster. and i've put them on a light background so you can tell what they'll (most likely) look like when in use.

[Jason]

my personal favs are either second from the left in the top row, or the terr.

tried as i might, i just couldn't get the wb symbol one to look right. the detail in my original graphic is just too fine, so it doesn't scale down in size all that well.

[roxxkatt]

in order:
#4
#3
#12
#9
#2
#13

[Jason]

really, #4? as in the 4th from the left in the top row?

it looks off to me. couldn't seem to get the anti-aliasing just right.

more feedback please! (food for my OCD, hah!)

[Jerome Scuggs]

yeah speaking of OCD #4 looks fine

id be fine with second from left or terr or even #4
