Question 
Suggestion: New AF favicon? Have your say
July 10, 2016 at 3:06 am (This post was last modified: July 10, 2016 at 4:30 am by Aractus.)
The current AF favicon looks like this: [Image: favicon.ico]

It is horribly ugly! Nearly TWO years ago I proposed this one (click for browser preview): [Image: gWqSTL9.png]

Our overlord (Tiberius) feels it is not close enough to the AF Logo. Therefore I have newly created (as in just now) two three more options: [Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style1-16x16.png] or [Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style2-16x16.png] or [Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style3-16x16.png]

Larger: [Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style1-32x32.png] or [Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style2-32x32.png] or [Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style3-32x32.png]

Preivew Page

Do note that you can use the PNG files as the favicon, so long as it is declared in the page header, there's no requirement for it to be delivered in .ico format any more. If it's not in the header then web browsers will automatically use /favicon.ico if found. It's also safe to use the 32x32 versions, they don't look any worse when downscaled by the browser to 16x16, and the preview page proves this. They can be converted to 32-bit .ico using this website.

Here are the large files themselves in case anyone wants to render them at another size: Grapic 1, Grapic 2, Grapic 3.

This is of course open to discussion, so please do say if you like the one I propose, or if you want to see something different.

If we switched I'd prefer the second one. translucent favicons look dumb with most browser skins.

I'm used to the current one, and it doesn't look ugly to me. In fact, I prefer it to the grey one.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I have added black backgrounds to the on-page preview. You can see that version 2 looks better against black and version 1 looks better against white. I could also render it with no translucence in the background.

I say keep the favicon, it doesn't matter. Only the logo banner on the actual site matters graphically really.

I feel a bit stupid for asking but - what is a favicon?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
