Over the past month or so I've been collecting some of my favourite favicons on the web for interest's and posterity's sake. In case you're unaware, favicons are the wee icons that are displayed occasionaly, it seems depending on how the stars are aligned, in the location bar of your browser or in your bookmarks or in your tabs if your browser supports them. Some people have clearly put a lot of effort into their 16 x 16 pixel creations. In my collecting, I just discovered today a nice review of good favicons at Makiko Itoh's site which includes many of the icons I caught in my butterfly net.
I'll keep gathering good ones as I go and maybe update this tiny collection with more over time. Suggestions for addition are welcome.

It's funny, when Mathowie first announced "Ask MetaFilter" my first thought was "how's he going to make a Favicon of that name that fits with the oh-so-neat MF and MT for MetaFilter and MetaTalk." Still no solution to that little problem, I'm afraid :(
Gordon - March 26, 2004 7:44 AM
Funny how there are no photo realistic favicons in either your or Makiko's lists.

Oops meant to suggest a couple: www.lockergnome.com, www.mezzoblue.com, http://www.designbyfire.com/..
cripes there's loads!!
ffoeg - March 26, 2004 11:31 AM
I enjoy the kidrobot favicon (http://www.kidrobot.com) something about the robots man...gets me every time. Plus they have some impressive action figures over there which are worth a look.

John Cook - March 27, 2004 9:21 AM
I'm proud of my favicon, mainly because I have zero drawing talent.
Johnny Rukavina - March 29, 2004 11:29 AM
I really like favicons that appear in my bookmarks as a quick visual indicator of what's what. I'm wondering why sometimes they appear and sometimes they don't with no rhyme or reason. Does anybody know?
Daniel Burka - March 29, 2004 2:27 PM
Unless someone has a better answer Johnny, as far as I can tell the support for Favicons is entirely voodoo. Some browsers are better than others (Microsoft IE is particularly bad) but no browser I've used much supports them very well. It seems like a trivial thing not to just get right, but no one seems to do it well. Perhaps there is more complexity than meets the eye that some browser programmer can enlighten us with.
Steven Garrity - March 29, 2004 2:39 PM
Yeah, it does seem to be voodoo. There are a slew of bugs listed in the Mozilla/Firefox bug database - this bug listing covers them.
Johnny Rukavina - March 29, 2004 4:17 PM
Obviously breaking the favicon voodoo curse is a job for the President of the Internet. Perhaps you can add this to the docket for his next cabinet meeting.
Garrett - March 30, 2004 11:50 AM
It's funny, my favorite icon has been the same for 3 years, even though my website has changed designs at least 6 times.
Lots of good picks there, Daniel.
james - March 30, 2004 12:05 PM
I had no idea there were so many CC sites. My favicon is relatively unimaginative but no worse than Creative Commons or Cuban Council's, I suppose...
rur42 - April 1, 2004 1:56 AM
So yes, how do you capture favicons?
Daniel Burka - April 1, 2004 9:25 AM
rur42: I got the Favicons above just by taking a screenshot and saving them as GIFs. However, if you look in the source of the document to get the path to the Favicon and paste it into your address bar you can save the actual ICO file to your computer.
Nick Burka - April 17, 2004 2:19 PM
Another one I just came across that struck me as funny.

jennifer - May 19, 2004 8:30 PM
awesome post!
i'm terribly amused that http://www.ipct.be/ stole their favicon from http://www.sodaplay.com/ [as far as i know- the latter has been around for aaaaages and was actually one of the first sites i saw that used a favicon, which is why i remembered it.]
Daniel Burka - May 20, 2004 9:46 AM
Duly noted Jennifer. I hadn't recalled that was Sodaplay's favicon. The link has been updated now to the original source. Thanks.

Michael Hale - May 29, 2004 11:20 AM
I ended up here by digging through the referrer strings in my web server logs; and was pretty surprised to see my icon is one of your favs. I like the idea - keep building. If anyone needs help adding a favicon to their site here is a good link that's been sitting in my bookmarks: http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/favicon.html
jim - May 29, 2004 10:18 PM
Wow, love the way you've styled this form! BTw the link to hicksdesign points to the wrong url - go see for yourself. My own favicon is shamefully dire. I'm working on it for the next redesign. Good entry.
Daniel Burka - May 30, 2004 8:21 PM
thanks jim, fixed.
Ben - June 1, 2004 9:13 PM
What about Ryan Wickstrand's favicon at Goatee Style? Can't go wrong with goats.
And Jenn Rodriguez' icon at qrow.com. Simplicity is awesome.
OrneryBoy (a sw33t webcomic) has a cool icon too.
Another webcomic, Real Life has a nice blue pill favicon thing going on.
And finally, everyone's favourite Big White Guy, Randall van der Woning.
Ruben - June 2, 2004 3:55 PM
My personal favourites include
AD<br/>
Zeldman<br/>
gigaom (my number 1 icon)<br/>

cokepoet - June 29, 2004 9:47 PM
I also found a HUGE list of favicons, some good, some not so good.
http://favicons.basecomac.net/frame.html
It's in French, but just go through the categories on the left. If you need to visit each site in order to get the favicons (which are presented on the list as gifs), be aware that some of the links are bad, but that if you put in the address that is listed as the link, instead of trying to go to the links themselves, sometimes it works better. Like a billion favicons.

Fascinating topic. Time and again I'm amazed how even complex graphics transform smoothly to much smaller resolutions.
For our university website we ventured to cram the official seal into the favicon format (cf. the original http://rzv075.rz.tu-bs.de/images/tulogo2.gif)

The first really striking favicon was the simplicity of OnePointZero.
Its multiple binary meanings are the overall similarity to an on/off switch, and the fact that it is constructed from a 1 and a 0. Perfect!

German TV station 3sat (http://3sat.de/) has great and simple one. I like my own (http://hostinspace.com) too. But I change it quite frequently.
Paladin - March 3, 2005 4:41 PM
Your site inspired me to improve mine.
<img src="http://www.trepryor.com/favicon.ico" class="favicon">
I wonder whether to keep the "21" or remove it entirely. What do you think?
Daniel Burka - March 3, 2005 4:46 PM
Paladin: that's really nice. I'm not so big on the 21 as it seems awfully pixelly next to the face. Maybe it would work well if the numbers were darker. Might be nice just with the face. It certainly qualifies for the next round of additions to this collection once you're done refining it.
Joachim - March 5, 2005 8:54 AM
wow, impressive collection!
there's an animated favicon I like : http://membres.lycos.fr/akamai/favicon.gif (from this blog : http://3couleurs.blogspot.com/ )
and here are some from my bookmarks:
http://www.b3ta.com/ (beware, not-so-fresh humor)

The favicon you have listed for http://www.scripting.com is actually the favicon (and corporate logo) for Userland: http://www.userland.com
Just an FYI.
I don't user Userland, but I would imagine that favicon may be a default favicon for any Radio Userland blogs???

Something different.......like Mardi Gras in Tampa, otherwise known as the Gasparilla Pirate Festival or just "Gasparilla" for short. The festival is very similar to Mardi Gras and takes place in February. The website I submitted specializes in making and selling throw beads for the krewes that participate in the parades. Beads make fine barter to negotiate favors from fairer lasses!

christian - July 12, 2005 2:50 PM
Hello
I made a favicon using my logo. I guess its quite difficult to put it in a favicon, so i made it just with microangelo and scaling it down.
I like the result, instead it still isn't that "clear" as other logos.

Chris
christian - July 12, 2005 2:53 PM
Hello
Have a look at my site www.hellgold.com. I made the favicon simply by scaling my logo down to 16px². It is not quite that claer as others, but i like it anyway.
Commets (also directely via mail) welcome.

http://www.wtamu.edu. We use a maroon favicon for our web server, and a different color favicon for each other box.

Thanks for such a great collection of favicons. These are handy to personalize your blog because most blog themes don't include a favicon.

Some of my personal all time favorites are cartoon icons like:

It would be nice if more browser support was out there for these it makes a nice branding touch point on a site.

My first go at a favicon...very simple but I'm very proud as it took me an age just to figure out how to get it to work...can't make it appear in address bar but it does show in favourites...yayyyy!!
...erm...can't get it on here either!! It's just a tick...but it's my tick!!!
