Daxx Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 What is a Favicon? Upload to your "public-html" directory. "hawkhost.com" root seems to be without one ... here's a starter, if needed http://www.daxxi.net/hh16/ ( <--- recommended; lower overheads ) http://www.daxxi.net/hh32/ (Try bookmarking both, then compare together. 32x32 doesn't appear so much better in my bookmarks sidebar lists but the full 32x32 icon image should be seen in the browser viewing area, here]) I just lassoed the head from the logo, hid the residual text and out-filled with transparency. It might not win an award for looking like a hawk but it looks much better in bookmarks and tabs than the boring browser default icons like a sheet of paper with a curled-over corner. Any alternative contributions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody R. Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ha, it never occurred to me to even bother with a favicon - it's such a small thing in the grand scheme of it all. We'll make sure to add a favicon to the new website (which will launch in early 2009). Either way thanks for the post, I'm sure some other customers will find it useful / informative .

canadave Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hey Daxx, those are AWESOME favicons for Hawk Host! Really nice. Cody, man, you guys should just grab that and use it right away anyway....why wait til the new site comes online? Takes two seconds to add the favicon and Daxx already did all the work hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxx Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'll contact Daxx to see if he minds, albeit a small change - it does make a difference.:cool: I don't mind at all - I was hoping you would use it It was lifted from your logo so I don't claim any copyright. It was just an exercise using the free Artweaver software (and others) on a real image. Thanks for your comments, Canadave Daxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenerli Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I second that idea, fire up an FTP client or whatever and upload and be done with it, 2 minutes work at most. As someone with many tabs open at once, I'd appreciate this. Or at least to not let Daxx's work go to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody R. Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 It looks like Tony set it up behind my back! It does look much better, props to you Daxx (and thanks)! -Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
