Generate favicon files for free
- June 26, 2009, 5:59 pm
Present your logo in your browser URL
- A very quick note today as we are currently redeveloping the istockcreative.com site (feel free to head on over and take a look at the new version 2, web2.0 update but be aware that this is still work in progress!).
So we needed a new favicon
Anyway there are a million and one sites out there offering to generate your favicon’s for free but many are poor and even more do not work at all. So to save you the bother we recommend the Dynamic Drive site, which is where we generate our favicons.
For those whose don’t know a favicon is the logo or symbol that appears by your URL in the browser window of your chosen browser. If a site does not have one then usually the browsers default logo is displayed instead. Anyway the image is a small (16 x 16 pixel) brand icon image that is uploaded to the root of your web server and is called in html using the following line in your section<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
There, no excuses for not having one now
- A favicon is a good way to brand your site and increase it's prominence in your visitor's bookmark menu.
