Favicons are Fun – Tip for fellow bloggers or anyone running a web site
Posted by: dragonblogger // Category: Internet, bloggingI am one of those people who can’t stand when I see my bookmark bar full of generic favicon icons. For those who don’t know what a Favicon is, this is a little 16 pixel by 16 pixel logo of your web site. Almost all browsers now support the favicon.ico file. This allows you to create a custom noticeable box next to your bookmark link that represents your web site.
Sometimes when I click on my bookmarks, all I need to see is the Favicon to know what I want to click on, I don’t even need to read the bookmark title. This is very helpful, as if you have a very impressionable favicon it can draw a user’s eye and help get your bookmark and site remembered.
I have always loved seeing how creative people can be with their own favicon.ico files and remember 16×16 pixels is not very large so you really have to be creative to get anything somewhat readable.
Here are a list of some favicon’s that I have bookmarked and think are really nice, I included my own here, I think it is pretty good although a little hard to see, it is my logo re-sized and remade into a favicon. I think it stands out and you can kind of make out the red dragon, let me know what you think of my favicon logo.
Favicon Images:
Let me know what types of favicon logo’s “jump” out at you or feel free to share with me your inspiration behind your own custom favicon icon file, I am always curious to know why you decided to create one, and why you chose the image you did.
I hope to hear from you soon.
