Just a tiny thing ... can we change the favicon to match our new logo?
Maybe something like this?

I love this idea. A favicon is something I've secretly lamented the lack of for a long, long time.

Hold on - lack? We do have a favicon. Or, well, it *should* work. If you're not seeing one, could you give us some more details?

I like it.

Fine idea, but I don't think the full logo scales well enough to that resolution. As an alternative, I made these based on the New Posts icon:

Thoughts?

Personally, I like the idea of zooming in a bit, but I feel like it would be better to focus on the Earth part of the logo, rather than the Sun. The "Sun = new posts, stars = no new posts" concept works very well when there are 2 options to present, but I think the favicon should mostly point out that, y'know, the Earth is flat.

I don't see one across the myriad of platforms I use to access this site. What should it be?

I will investigate this matter further.

Blanko's are way nicer than mine.
Honestly I didn't think I'd do a great job, I only have MS Paint. I just didn't want to come here asking for something again like "can you do this for me, I'm prepared to put in no effort". If I could have done a better version I would. But now we have Blanko's please consign mine to the dustbin of dead favicons.
Our site and associated social media all look so nice and co-ordinated (except google+ ... do we even use that still or is it SEO lipservice?) and the favicon just looks a little out of place.
-
So, seems no objections. Can we implement the new Blanko favicon?
-
How do we get something from agreed to implemented? Is there a process for that?
-
Technically, no. Anyone can make a pull request on our GitHub.
-
In the absence of any objections and counter-suggestions bar my own, I pushed Blanko's suggestion to our codebase (https://github.com/TheFlatEarthSociety/forum.tfes.org/commit/e89dba505a37f7548589074060c3dfbe3a0291e9). It should take effect whenever Parsifal redeploys the code.
-
Aaaand that should be done now. If you're not immediately seeing it, you might need to clear your cache. Looking good on my end!
-
Looks fantastic! I like this one much better.
-
Thanks guys :)
Isn't consistent though. Still have the old favicon on the home page for example.

Yes, I interpreted your request as one for the forum. It's perfectly consistent, we just misunderstood one another.
-
It makes sense when everything is themed for the new design, that the new favicon is used throughout.
I didn't want to patronise you by spelling out the obvious. I will in the future. :P
