New Icons

falves · 11-01-2008, 03:38 PM

SegChat has a new favicon, but you may need to clear you browser's cache to see it. We also have a new iPhone Web Clip icon. To get that, just go to SegChat on your iPhone and add the site to your Home Screen. If you have an old Web Clip icon already on your iPhone, just delete it.

Enjoy,
Fernando

I liked the original one. This one is going to have to grow on me a bit I think. In IE the favicon is so small it means the flyguy isn't as clear as before. But thanks for the efforts to help keep the site easy on the eye. I like your avatar too.

...but now that the site actually has a logo, I think this fits better. The previous favicon (which I also made) was OK but it's just too generic. Almost every dealer's site has some variation of it and even INC uses the Flyguy for its favicon. The biggest problem with favicons is that they're only 16x16 pixels, so it's quite hard to make things look good...

Have you seen the iPhone version? That one actually works very well as the iPhone does a superb job of scaling WebClip icons (which are 57x57 pixels or bigger) so they look great on screen!

P.S. I like my avatar too! That came from the logo I made for "another" site...

Yes, I had noticed that problem, and as I generally have quite a few tabs open (and eventually have to nuke Firefox because it's consuming a gig's worth of RAM, leaky idiot software...) it was getting quite annoying.

So your new favicon is an immediate hit with me!

Thanks!

I take your points and agree the larger icons look much better. But the art of favicons is in making them look good despite their size. Impossible I guess with the new SC logo but thanks again for your efforts. This forum (and the other site you mention) have dramatically improved over time into very professional looking sites. Keep up the good work.
