Re: Textpattern Favicon
Wouldn’t that be defeating the purpose of a favicon (a unique, identifying icon for a website)?

Re: Textpattern Favicon
@Bert – Mary was right :) It does show in ie now.
@Alex – Try the favicon picker extension for Firefox.

Re: Textpattern Favicon
Mary, favicons aren’t necessarily supposed to be unique. Anyway, it would be nice to have a favicon on Textpattern.com :)
Soulship, many thanks!

Re: Textpattern Favicon
brushing off
Is it only me or is there no Favicon at textpattern.com or forum.textpattern.com. I can’t see one with Firefox 3.
The URL http://textpattern.com/favicon.ico seems to exist, but I can’t see an image, only the text: “http://textpattern.com/favicon.ico”
Would love textpattern.com and the forum to get one, can’t distinguish all my tabs.

Re: Textpattern Favicon
I also think it would be wise (useful, modern, appealing…) to implement favicons on the family sites (at least .com, .net and .org). I don’t agree they should have to be unique (under the new aims of integrating sites under a common theme, they probably shouldn’t be), but unique is better than nothing at all.
I like the favicon wet created. If we used a common favicon, that is a pretty fair candidate, though I suppose there could be other ideas.
However, if we go unique, then for TextBook I would like to use Kevin’s gold hammer, which Kevin and I have been discussing in email. Unless there’s a move for a common favicon, or hakjoon has an objection, we’ll probably go with the gold hammer in TextBook pretty soon.

Re: Textpattern Favicon
My high-brow opinion: Removing the stone while keeping the carver evokes very destructive connotations (at least for me), and puts the focus on the tool, not on the result, etc. pp.

Re: Textpattern Favicon
In this case — a favicon — we have some spatial constraints to consider.
In your version, the stone is indeed removed, yet it is still quite compact having only the chiseler (and I would argue the focus is on the chiseler, in that instance, not the tool).
With the hammer alone, both stone and chiseler are removed, and thus the focus is indeed the tool. Yet what does that matter? Who reads into favicon designs that deeply? :)
Are you suggesting we all remain with no favicon?

Re: Textpattern Favicon
Oh no. You’re right.

Re: Textpattern Favicon
About which part? :)

Re: Textpattern Favicon
About spatial restrictions, no-one interpreting a favicon, and that we need a (family of) favicons. Go on, nothing to see here ;-)
