Favicon (Help, spriters!)

[Xifanie]

I am searching for someone who could make a favicon for FFH.

What's a favicon?
It's what appears next to the page name for most browsers. Other browsers may not support them at all. It can be made using photoshop.

What are the specs?
256 colors (8bit)
16x16
format .ico

I thought that this is necessary since FFH is pretty much the only site I browse that has no favicon. >_>'

How do you fancy these?

BTW it wont let me attach icon files.

I made the colors on these two more simple incase those don't work.

I prefer the first one by far, but I was looking for something most custom... In fact, I only know what I don't want.

16 by 16 pixels aint much to work with

I'm no artist, and I sketched these really quick in paint as drafts, but what do you think of something along the lines of these?

The first is a roughly styled FFT HAX.  Might be too many letters for that little space.

The next is FFT with a splattered H in the corner.  Kind of like the logo we have in the banner.

The last is a glowing zodiac stone.  I could do a much better job of the shading using GIMP, but this shows the basic idea of having the stone glimmer like the stones do in the game just before something (usually bad) happens.

If you want I could probably do a combination of these as well, such as replacing the spattered H with a zodiac stone in the corner.  Anyways, just some ideas...

I believe they can be bigger, it gets rescaled autmatically... I found once on my computer all the ones I had ever visitied... but I can't find it again for some reason.

Some were pretty big (400x400 or so).

[Cyberblade]

If they auto-matically get scaled down i can probaly make something nice if not here you go =P

[Tersius]

The sword that's just been put in looks really nice too.  Where did that one come from?

[Xifanie]

Huh... it's just a test. And it's a PSP Knight Sword. Don't know the name, but it's ridiculously broken just like all new items are. :O

[Zozma]

its not just the psp is it? looks like the chaos balde to me, and yes its just a little bit more broken that orlandu.

I've seen animated ones on websites before, so I made of the animated kind.

Crap.  I can't uplaod a .ico file.  SCREW YOU, INTERWEBS!!!

Maybe I could just emails it to Zodiac.  Would that be okay with you, Zod?

I spent about 5 minutes making this one, its a gafgarion sprite, 16x16, 256 colors and .ico. He kinda looks squashed but im not very good at this type of thing. I used the program IrfanView, it can convert an image to these specs and save as an .ico.

Also im not sure why, but I cannot post an ico on this board. This is the PNG.

[Xifanie]

I added a few extensions... including .ico so go ahead now you can post it.
Oh, and as Argg0 pointed out, bigger is fine. just make sure width = height and that it looks nice in 16x16.

[Xifanie]

Ok well, this is very wierd, I can't get the .ico attachment to work at all; any other I add are fine, but not .ico.

Go ahead and sent it to me via e-mail if you want.

[CidIII]

I have an animated one I made.
Sent it let me know what you think...

I can make a new animated one if you have an Idea of what you'd like.

[Sen]

I have 1 for the Chat but its size is 26x26 (bigger)

[Xifanie]

lol Sen; still nice though, I plan to replace all the buttons/icons on the forum.

I have an animated one I made.
Sent it let me know what you think...

I can make a new animated one if you have an Idea of what you'd like.

I didn't receive anything, I even checked my old e-mail account.
are you sure you sent it to mailto:zodiac@ffhacktics.com">zodiac@ffhacktics.com?

By the way, I thought about it again and just post in .gif.

I can very simply convert it and both .gif and .ico are 256 colors and supports transparency.

[CidIII]

Should have sent now, I saved it in a .ico format. So I would have to convert it into .gif

[Xifanie]

I conveerted your icon to .gif to show, and it gave me inspiration!

[CidIII]

Ahh, that is nice.  

Glad I was inspirational!

Here's a good tool for making Animated/Regular favicons!
