I assume a browser cache issue.

Was messing about with a 'favicon generator'

I've currently left it with the green motorbike as the icon on the forum. But i do like the logo, even though it's very small and hard to see/read.

OK, last redesign. We've converted a 1098 into a favicon and we're going with that after a team discussion

[KungFooBob]

I've got the green one, but surely it should be orange

[weeksy]

Lol how you have the green one is beyond me. All should be the red 1098 now.

Do a refresh on browser using the circle arrow thing.

[KungFooBob]

I 've just done a proper refresh. It's gone red.

So has my Favicon!

Yeah but, do you like it or hate it, as I think we're the only 2 who care

[KungFooBob]

I like it.

It's better than the RTTL one, imho.

[cheb]

I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out, I couldn't tell you what the previous ones looked like.

Pearls before swine I'm afraid.

With my arty farty (paper, out of cracker) hat on, it might look better if not squashed to fit the shape available. Instead, crop the bike to fit - either lose a bit of each wheel so it's centred, or have the entire front end in and trim off the back end if the bike.

Imagine looking through a window, first bike is a bit further away, second is closer.

FWIW I think the second would be more dynamic and recognisable.

Because it's 16*16 pixels only, that's actually harder than you'd think lol

Hey, you asked and I answered I can't do anything for a few days, but will do a couple of sketches when back @work.

Credit where due, in the 16x16 format available you've drawn a very creditable and recognisable motorcycle.

[Yorick]

Mine's working now.

But I'd prefer a GSXR.

[weeksy]

Next Xmas you can have a gsxr for a week.

OK, here's a sketch.

Three colours:
Shade = grey
Blue to be black
Red

The grey line is one pixel in from the edge of the 16x16. The bike front wheel and helmet go to the extra pixel, so the bike 'pops out', making it more dynamic.

The rear of the bike is trimmed. This loses nothing which the person viewing needs to identify what the image is showing, in fact makes it easier as the remainder can be bigger.

I googled "panigale wheelie" to get something to copy.

Yes, it's a toy

I'm assuming you're using software to start with a larger image and reduce down to the necessary range of sizes, etc. Also, I haven't considered how it appears on different colour backgrounds. Possibly for that you might want a white 1 pixel outside of the grey partial border.

same image used and it converts it into an ICO file and ends up with

LOL you were supposed to have input and comments, not just like it.

I must admit, i prefer the 1098 one we've had for a few days.
