Favicon.
 

Ever notice how other websites have little logos next to the web address? Or in your favorites or bookmarks tab?

Did you also notice how Zelaron has yet to have one?

Not anymore.

I've designed a favicon based on the color scheme of x79 (won't matter much as it's a multitude of pixels away and the color seperation won't be noticeable.)

So, I wanted your opinions on it, I can change it if you don't like it or you can post your own and we can vote on them.

But here it is.

The link to the actual ico file is here. http://d.1asphost.com/nevermore2ascend/favicon.ico

Give more options in the poll. Saying, it sucks, is a bad idea. Some people might want you to tweak it a little to make it better so it would be "Alright" not sucking though.

Did you all the variations, or just that one? Most icons should at least have 16x16 and 32x32 images in both 256 and 16 colors.

I actually think it's pretty damn good.

Just one suggestion. Any chance we could make the white part transparent?

I was going to write something like this, but forgot as I was writing.

I'm gonna. I couldn't a while because it's girlfriend time.

I should do this later.

Yeah, it should be in the actual ico file.

And here I figured you somehow misspelled "Famicom." Nevermind...

I vote yes to the "Z"

Alright. Got all forms. Wanna implement it and test it out for a while?

I agree. I think it is nice but could use some tweeking to make it better. It is not something that I would like over all else. Kinda just not the type of thing that seems to fit the rest of the site.

I like the idea of a Zelaron favicon, but Zelaron is sharp and edgy, not round and softly glowing.

I can try something new.

Last attempt. Either majority wins or you can make your own.

I think the icon should be more edgy. Just alter the old design a bit, and the famicon should be OK

Definatly like the new one! Works for me!

I prefer the first one ya posted.

I like that too but it is too round. This isn't a rounded community.

Asamin, I just said that 3 posts back. And your second sentence doesn't make sense (rounded community? so it's an edgy community???).

Yes, it did make sense. You just aren't intelligent enough to realize it.

Okay children, enough.

Why, it made sense, believe me.

I personally think the design looks nice right now.

Well whatever, my point is that Asamin shouldn't repeat something already said, it makes him look like a fool, (then he makes up for it by calling people stupid)

You just got burned by GLG.

Asamin, just stop posting stuff like that.

I'm going to make one tomorrow and see if you guys like it better.

Jesus Asamin, are you trying to prove that you're a dumbass?

And what if I am? What then?

Then you would be a dumbass. But that's just hypothetic.

But, about the favicon, which is what this thread is about, let's set a deadline on favicon submissions for Wednesday, 23-4-08, 12AM GMT. After that, let's have a week long poll.

I prefer the second over the first, and agree that we need a Favicon.

I might try my hand at a Favicon design, which will most probably be based on your second one.

In Mozilla, if you click the second one, it'll appear on the tab as if it actually was the favicon for that site. It looks pretty neat and I got used to it.

I like it!

I like the original alot much much better than the second one. Very nice work.

I was angry that day. Nothing I posted was quite the was it really should have been

Conveying "ZEL" or even "ZELARON" rather than "Z" is useful for improving our identity and making our community known to others.

I had a go at it.

I like the other ones better. Sorry Chruser.

It looks nice, but it needs a shine on it. If it had some power bulging from it, that would look neat.

I agree. It needs more pizazz. I don't want to just look at a black Z with a tail when I go on Zel. Make some sparks or something.

I like it but favicon's are generally 16x16 in the address bar and tabs.

Anything other than what we've basically got isn't gonna fit well.

But if you make it at 32x32 then it gets shrunk down to 16x16 if you have your browser set to display 16x16s.

If you make it at 16x16 think of all those poor 32x32 people. D:

I don't get your logic.

I like Chruser's to be honest.

And I lied, I'm not gonna make one. Too lazy.

The best part about an icon file is that it can have multiple sizes! The issue, though, is that it needs to be a design that scales well to 16x16, even if there is a 32x32 one made available, since most users will see it at 16x16.

If you just made one that looked good and was 32X32, It could still look fine at 16X16. I have no problem with it.

I forgot that I made one when I said I would. XD

For some reason Graphics gale's alpha layer options aren't working, so it's just on a white background.

Not bad. I like it.

Although when scaled down, the z isn't so apparent.

yeah.

I kind of just made a lame G and fixed it up with a non-pixel brush.

If anyone wants to refine it in Photoshop or anything I would <3 you, this time I'm ACTUALLY too lazy.
