*this is a lie

but design a nu-ilx favicon anyway

make a 16x16 GIF and post it on this thread

we’ll decide/argue over which one is best

and you might finally gain our respect and adulation if you win*

but waht is a favicon?

(“Your closing quote mark should be followed by a space or a >”

is this still the eighties?)

initial ideas #1:

ooh how long do we have? i’m on this

HOw do you get such a... favicon... in front of your URL. Cause that’s what yr talking about no?

the closing date for entries is whenever nu-ilx goes up

Is it possible to have several different ones, and it picks one at random every time you load a page?

I was going to say the original is best, but I can’t deny that this

is pretty great.

:-( everyone is ignoring my stupid question. :-(

16x16 is so small you can’t even make out the trains :(

is it possible to use an animated gif with all the cat pics?

the original is a bit naff and misleading (ha ha) but at least it says it in big letters.

it was originally made by me as an actual logo (along with many others on a thread about that, started by me, years ago) but gr4h4m decided to adopt it as the favicon.

I think you should stick with just two or three colours or you can’t make out what it is. See xpost.

HOw do you get such a... favicon... in front of your URL. Cause that’s what yr talking about no?

it should automatically happen when you bookmark that domain or website’s index page

Nathalie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon (not that I don’t want to explain, but someone already wrote all of that down there)

(the browser requests it from the server. if the browser doesn’t support it or the server doesn’t have one then you won’t see it. firefox regularly messes up the ones i have in my bookmarks list, especially the bbc ones:

)

Yay, thanks! :-)

weird that’s never happened to me/my firefox

oh stan did that. my other idea was ;_;

We need something that looks like work. Excel? Word? Access?

Firefox on my home pc actually sees all favicons, its IE that seems to throw a wobbler with them. It doesn’t see hardly any.

ask Beth to spell out I L and X with yellow stones on her scanner and scale that pic down to 16x16 ?

man boobs no doubt

16x16 this:

WHY FIGHT IT

\||/

what’s wrong with the OG icon?

(Also, I get credit for the cameltoe favicon)

ok UH wins

Damn, I can’t make this any smaller ;_;

Wow. Imagine the time you spent on that.

I did it for love.

If I have my way, which I might, Louis Jagger will be the only poster left on ILX.

I get on well with Louis. It was a “joke”.

(xp) we’ll have none of that on ilx, now

Good stuff. xx-post.

But, y’know, well done Cap’n Save-a-Poppage.

I meant xxx-post. That didn’t work. The software must be crap. Just wait for the new stuff for much worse.

it really has to be UH.gif

i tried to make a RESPECK KNUCKLES one, but it wasn’t readable :(

put the ;_; in kenan’s heart and i’d go for that

is that the robot?

it’s the mooninite

If I have my way, which I might, Louis Jagger will be the only poster left on ILX.

AND I LOVE COOKING! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY :D

It’s hard doing somethign with only 16 x 16 pixels!

Hahaha WTF!

(I had my speakers up really loud then :( )

otm

sorry!!!

Don’t be, I laughed my head off =)

Awesome, Curtis.

I liked the old favicon.

I like the old one, too.

I agree.

nah. yellow and red is nasty together, esp. THAT yellow and THAT red. looks like hot dog condiments.

I like the idea that we make it look like work. or make it really boring. Or make it nothing.

NOTHING! NOTHING WOULD BE PERFECT!

maybe we can do an Internet Explorer job on the logo, and just make the colors a little deeper and add some cheezy-ass plastic effect or something.

upside down ie logo?

it’s not I Love Schwa

Hot Dog condiments do NOT look nasty.

it won’t fit into 16x16 :)
