Contest #2: Pick Tedlog's Logo
OK, it's time to get another contest rolling. Here's the challenge this time: to design the "favicon" for Tedlog. A favicon is the tiny icon that shows up to the left of the URL in an address bar and to the left of the page title in a bookmarks list. IE 5.0 and most other modern browsers support favicons. For now, I've designed a functional red block with a white "T" in the middle, but I'm sure the collective intelligence of Tedlog can do better than that.
I've found a convenient free site for designing a favicon online. You can also just build a 16x16 bitmap image in any Paint program. Email your entry to me at ted@tedfriedman.com, and I'll post all the entries online. Once I've collected the entries, we'll take a vote via Comments for the winner. The winner will receive a copy of Naomi Klein's No Logo.
For a nice selection of favicon examples, check out MpP Favicon Gallery. For more examples of icon design, check out the perfect coffee table book for geeks, Icon Design.
