Old DMDC Favicon: Black square. New DMDC Favicon: Gray square with big black asterisk. Simple, but I think effective. Here’s a tool for making them and here’s a tool for creating one from a pre-existing image.

    Looks pretty nice up there in my address bar. Is there any significance or meaning behind it? Or just a cool logo…

    nothing in particular.

    maybe it’s a revolution?

    or maybe it’s a different type of star of david?

    maybe i could run a competition on what it should mean?

    anyway – glad you like it.

    hope you’re having a good holiday.

    Oh wow…I just discovered that you can now have animated favicons (maybe you always could?) Might be time to do some experimenting methinks…

    Yeah it seems that you can now have an animated gif as the favicon. I can just envisage a whole lot of websites now having tacky, flashing, spinning icons. Urgh…
