favicon.ico

Post by cocodude »

Well, the thread for the favicon.ico has gone. Was astropoint's one voted as the best one overall? If so, unless anyone has any major objections, this will be the new favicon.ico for twofo.co.uk

astro: Can you send me a link to it please?

Great - thanks. I've now updated the favicon.ico.

If anyone's bored, feel free to make a GigaTux favicon.ico for me ;)

Hmm, not sure if its taking a while updating things, but the favicon on here is still the old one.

And i might have a go for GigaTux. Anything in particular you were after?

Wow, you must be bored! Not really sure - GigaTux doesn't really have a graphical logo as such (only text). Really something better than what I have at present ;)

Thanks, Rampage.

I think I'm going to try and stick away from the penguin though. It also looks quite busy for a small icon. Thanks for the effort though.

I've got a feeling GigaTux needs a proper logo (as opposed to just text) for it to work well. I'll probably just do a 'GT' thing, not using the original text on the site as it doesn't seem to work that well for a favicon.

Heh. GT. You could steal the favicon from gay-torrents.net. :roll: :lol:

Ok. I finally made a new GigaTux icon that doesn't look crap. If you're bored, it's at http://www.gigatux.com/favicon.ico (you may need to Shift/Ctrl reload the icon).
