Favourite Favicons: Four

3 comments

I just keep on coming across stellar examples of favicons, so I'll keep adding to the original collection. Again, suggestions are always welcome.


I've decided to stay fairly strict with limiting anti-aliased favicons but Jason Santa Maria's makes the grade. Also, check out the accounting firm H&R Block's favicon. Exactly what you'd expect from one of the simplest and, in my humble opinion, finest corporate identities. Derek Powazek's tiny thumbnail of the layout from his site is an interesting idea too. I'm sure it wouldn't work for most websites, but his geometric structure is very conducive to it. If you haven't already, check out the full collection compiled thus far.

If it makes you feel better, I created it pixel by pixel with a 1 px brush :D

There's mine. Really quite simple. Just a star.

I've actually got 2 alternate favicons which should appear depending on which part of the site you're looking at. Apple uses a similar technique for their main site and for the Developer and Support components of their site.

...nice to be included with such good company :)

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
