New Favicons
Wednesday, October 08, 2008Just in case you haven't noticed, I made a new favicon for my domain, Beyond Eternal. To be honest, I'm getting tired of using my face as a favicon too.
It all started with the idea of making a favicon for the official website/fansite of L†L: Louie and Louise. And I ended up with making a rather more general themed favicon and since it looks nice, I started wanting it for Beyond Eternal rather than just for the L†L site's use. Then after, I thought of a good idea for a favicon for L†L.
Here's how the favicons look, zoomed in at 800%:
They looked 100x way better when small, since they're supposed to viewed small - in16x16 pixels, to be exact. ^^;
Anyway, I'm pretty happy at how it turned out, all thanks to the PEPgenious10 pixel font by PEPLUM where I got the skull pixel from. I was trying to draw the skull figure but got lazy so I started to surf DaFont looking for a good bitmap font that I cold use for the favicon and found that font by chance. Lucky~? (^_^)V

Looks awesome. Like the little white "drop shadow," too. My favicon designs, in contrast, always suck.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really great. I have never found enough time to make really cool favicon. Mostly what i do is taking part from my existent images, Crop Tool from PhotoShop and then some online sites that help you make automatically favicon.
ReplyDeleteI like it how there's only two comments so far. Most people are such n00bs; don't even know what a favicon is, I bet...
ReplyDeleteYou should write about this kind of stuff more often.
The favicon looks awesome. :D
ReplyDeleteGah. Favicons look more spiffy in Google Chrome. I don't know why. xD
