I've been using firefox a good deal more now than IE, and it definitely does a better job of displaying favicons than IE.

So I think it would be a nice addition. I've made one as an example for ASFN, I only spent a couple minutes on it so I am sure Mike can make something a little nicer. Its hard to fit something nice in a 16x16 pixel space.

I'm not sure posting as an image will work, so if you want to use, I can definitely email this as an attachment.

Yeah - IE sucks at displaying favicons. I don't know why that is.

I think it is a good idea. That picture is showing up pretty dark on my computer so it is hard to make out what it is. Maybe something a little lighter?

Yeah - I think a favicon would be a good idea - makes a site stand out on favorites.

It is supposed to be a red Arizona, with ASFN written in black on top of it. It definitely is a little hard to make out.

I think you need to have a better contrast between the state and the letters...something like this (still not good...man, that's small!)

Yeah - I like it. The colors are easier to see, but it is hard to work with 16x16.

It isn't showing right for some reason...

I like Pariah's state background/color a little better.

Maybe try that and just put a letter "A" on it for kicks? :shrug:

Weird - I've checked two different machines, and in both cases, it looks like I drew it in photoshop in Firefox, but iExplorer is mangles the northwest corner.

You know, the A looks like crap in internet explorer too, but looks decent in firefox.

Wow, I'm sorry I missed this thread...

I like the AZ logo a lot...maybe can we split it up into colors for each team?

I dunno...it needs something sporty in it?

I can do that - I'll get the right color numbers from pantone. I'm not sure how it will turn out but worth a try.

Also, could be an idea with an AZ faded slightly, and a bat, bball, football overlapping it?

Might be too hard...

Thats quite a bit in 16x16 pixels. I don't know if that would turn out.
