Need a favicon

hotrod12 · 08-01-2005, 08:13 AM

I need a favicon for my site, Explosive-Hosting. What I was looking for is something that would match the current layout of my forum and have E-H in the icon. Anyone who is interested please post your price and I will get back to the person who can do it for the lowest price.

Uh, as much as you wanna give me
I'll make it right away

mholt · 08-01-2005, 08:22 AM

I'll do it for 30 NP$.

jontalbot · 08-01-2005, 08:25 AM

Done.
All Zipped up.

For those who don't wanna download the .ico.. here's what it looks like

mholt · 08-01-2005, 08:32 AM

I made one that I *think* fits the colors a bit better, but I hope "simple" is okay:

But I have to admit, jontalbot's is a bit higher quality... if you want the .ico just ask.

I made 2 more:

(This one was saved as a .gif in paint but is not actually that bad)

This one is better I think:

Again, if you want the .ico, just ask

jontalbot · 08-01-2005, 08:46 AM

mine is eye-catching though..

mholt · 08-01-2005, 08:51 AM

All the more to distract the user's to the URL bar instead of to the website content.

daze · 08-01-2005, 08:56 AM

you guys do realize that a site's favicon is 16x16, right?

jontalbot · 08-01-2005, 09:02 AM

Mine still looks kinda the same.... I'll format it smaller if needed

mholt · 08-01-2005, 09:05 AM

The browser will automatically resize it to 16x16 when displayed. Firefox does at least.

But really, it's hotrod's choice.

daze · 08-01-2005, 09:10 AM

compuxp - all of the icons i've seen in this thread will look drastically different at 50%, especially if you allow the browser to shrink it (which i honestly didnt know it could do -- i dont spend a lot of time making favicons above the standard 16x16 size).

but yeah, its not my choice. i was merely pointing something out to save everyone time.

mholt · 08-01-2005, 09:11 AM

Okay, well, I wasn't flaming you

Just stating what I know Firefox to do.

I will size down the icons if requested then.

abdulmueid · 08-01-2005, 10:31 AM

daze's favicon looks more professional...

mholt · 08-01-2005, 11:36 AM

that's cause I just use MS Visual C++'s default Icon editor... I'm beat. Daze's is better

daze · 08-01-2005, 12:02 PM

hotrod -

i spent about 5 minutes total on both, so whatever NP$ you want to give would be appreciated (if you use either).

hotrod12 · 08-02-2005, 07:55 AM

Thanks guys for the icons and I have decided to go with daze's icon.
