Favourite Favicons: Six

5 comments

I've still been stumbling across more great favicons over the past few months and have just enough to make another addition to the original collection even if it's not a huge installment. Some of these new entries are especially nice adaptions of logos or product themes like the lovely Lego brick and the simple lock for PGP. In this set I've also set aside whatever little bit of modesty I had and included the first favicon of my own creation to be in the collection: the mozilla store icon.


Again, please do keep the suggestions coming by replying to this or the original thread on favicons. Thanks to everyone who has contributed their ideas thus far. There are now more than two hundred wee icons.

The drop shadow effect on the moz store favicon is really impressive. Good work man. The pixel dude icon for stanleysy.com reminds me of photomatt and sideshow - their icons could be brothers lol

I was just about to mention Starving Artist's similarity with Photo Matt and sidesh0w --- guess they're all brothers :) (Wow, that's deviantart's starvingartist! So he has a website :/)

Oh and the Mozilla store icon is definitely worth being in this list. Congrats!

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.
