Favicon?

Howdy Jay,

Could we get a Favicon added to OT.com? Like many, I use Firefox and have a Bookmarks Toolbar, many sites have Favicons and I 'd love to see OT.com get one as well. Currently, alongside all my Favicons I have OT.com bookmarked with a blank page favicon and "OT" written out next to it, I'd love to get rid of the "OT" next to it. Here is a clip to give you the idea of what I'm looking at. I'm certain someone from our community could come up with a great one you could add to your sites coding. It isn't particularly a necessary item, but a nice thing to have. Thanks a million for all you do!!

Kill the terrorists, protect the borders, punch a hippie.

If people want to submit ideas or icons, I'm open to it. It's one of those things I think about constantly, but never get around to.

I actually made a few for another forum I post at, but the admin hasn't used them yet. (he takes his sweet time doing...well, most things)

I'll give it a think and probably submit some later. They can be used as Jay sees fit. :)

Ok, here's one:

Not super happy with it, but it took way too long and I got tired of tweaking it. :p

Good job Ripplin, but I'd like to have just a plain ol' picture. That one would be too distracting up in the corner.

Here's what I got, sweet, simple, to the point, and easy to understand. I used your idea Rip of using the OT colors.

Yeah, when I made some for the other forum, I made a static and animated one. I should've posted both OT ones, but you beat me to it. ;)

Here's the .ico file for my design if you want to use it Jay, let me know if you think anything should be changed or fixed with it.

How about a "Han Shot First" icon?

I like that third one the most of the three. In fact, I think that's my favorite of all of them shown here so far. It has my vote! :)

RE: Favicon?

Me also, that third one is the best of all the submissions!

*slaps head*

Why didn't I think of that!!! Good job Moth3r!!

Following Jay's redesign, I'm now thinking the favicon should be something based on the half-built Death Star:

?

Not bad! I still like the one I liked most before the most, though. ;)

I was going to come start a thread about a favicon, found this one, and even found the icon I was going to suggest!  We're already ahead of the game!

And it's good you bumped it, too. This keeps getting forgotten about, I think.

At this rate, come back in 2012.

My vote is either for  Greedo Shot First

~or~

 DSIII shot first.

I like the Han shot first favicon too. I'm getting impatient waiting for the favicon. Can we make one ourselves to work on our computer? IDK if I can make one work on my computer every time I go to the website? I guess I'll have to google that.
It can be done, I believe.

Any update on this?

Seems pretty simple to roll out anything and change later if needed.

Edit: Moth3r's icon looks great.  I'd also like to suggest something like:
