I have to ask: Why a nail for the website icon that's on the bookmark and webpage tab?

Whoey · **Reply #1 on:** August 13, 2010, 12:46:03 AM

it's the multitool from the logo, unfortunately, not much detail in a 16x16 pixel icon...

I had no idea what he was talking about until Whoey popped in. XD
I always just knew it was a multi.

Andreas · **Reply #3 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:00:47 AM

For the record, it's called a favicon. At least there is more pixels to play with in the iPhone version, if the site has that

Sazabi · **Reply #4 on:** August 13, 2010, 03:21:21 AM

Ah, the favicon had been changed, then, since the old one was quite legible. *nods* I only noticed this change yesterday or so, I think?

Freudian Frog · **Reply #5 on:** August 13, 2010, 05:32:03 AM

It used to have the M, I believe.

Whoey · **Reply #6 on:** August 13, 2010, 10:13:20 AM

actually it was the multitool and the M before, but the background wasn't transparent, and on my setup looked a bit poo (my tabs are not white) Maybe I'll redo the old one then... or some variation...

standard is 16x16 on pretty much everything...

some research tells me:

Quote

For iPhone and iPad favicons, for addition to homescreens, they are 57x57 and 72x72 respectively

why that's not 64x64 & 80x80 is beyond me... at least the 72 is some variant of 8bit...

Andreas · **Reply #8 on:** August 13, 2010, 10:48:36 AM

It's designed for the iPhone screen... going to 64 would mean an extra 28 pixels, almost 10%, I guess there wasn't room

Whoey · **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2010, 10:52:40 AM

and I guess 48 was too low res...

ari6126 · **Reply #10 on:** August 14, 2010, 08:53:34 AM

I made a new favicon for the site. Don't know if it's better.

DaveK · **Reply #11 on:** August 14, 2010, 12:03:27 PM

I noticed it had changed - I thought it looked like a syringe though

Neil · **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2010, 02:17:41 PM

Same here Dave

There really isn't much you can do with 16x16. Ari's looks good

AHB · **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2010, 03:19:30 PM

I think the syringe is cool..

I think you should ask Micah that question...

Whoey · **Reply #16 on:** August 14, 2010, 05:53:00 PM

which is the tool from the logo with shortened handles and a slightly different angle

Quit feeling melancholy and go back read the thread properly. We liked yours and Micah's is good too.

Group hug everyone

I am puzzled as too why the LM Flair's cocktail fork was not considered

Whoey · **Reply #24 on:** August 15, 2010, 06:04:56 PM

I'm very tempted to replace it with a .gif like:
