About a month ago, Amber Macarthur, a host on the television program Call for Help, contacted me and asked me to do a really short part on their show about favicons. Anyway, it was fun to tape a little segment with her co-host Leo Laporte about what favicons are, why you might want to have one on your site, and how to go about cooking one up. Sure, favicons aren't the most vital part of designing a site, but it was neat to boil them down to a five-minute discussion. Thanks to the whole crew for having me on the show.
So, here's yet another installment of favicons to the full collection. This is an unusually large addition (61 new ones I think) as I haven't made one in quite some time. Some stellar examples in there, including Amber's own weblog, The Toronto Star, and Dan Cederholm's slick favicon for Microformats. This raises the entire collection to something just over four hundred favicons and counting...

Wow, look at that. I've been watching your Favourite Favicons for a while now and never suspected I'd make the list. Thanks!
And I agree with you on the Toronto Star and Microformats icons, those ARE slick.

Another interesting favicon that I saw on the Amersham Biosciences website when I was looking at some of their products.

That was an interesting surprise, glad you like my favicon. If you've not already found it, http://www.iconsurf.com/ crawls the web for favicons, indexes them by domain type, domain itself, number of sites it's used on, etc. I helped with some of the spidering, though it's not my project.
