Does anyone know what Steve's favicon is? Is that little Tribble looking thing supposed to be consciousness?

Adam · 11-04-2006, 07:52 PM

Interesting question. I always assumed that it was one of the creatures from a game he made back in his Dexterity days.

sounds like a really good guess.

It reminds me of "Grimace"
You know the purple guy from McDonalds...

Savage · 11-04-2006, 08:15 PM

It's actually the character Dweep from the game Dweep Gold. He's sort of a ball of fur with two legs.

I want to replace the favicon with something better... just haven't had time to do it yet. The cute character at least stands out in feedreaders, so I figured it was a step up from nothing.

If anyone here wants to take a stab at making something better, feel free.

I'd like to take a stab at it... Did you have something particular in mind...?

Savage · 11-04-2006, 08:47 PM

I'm eventually going to have a logo designed that includes a pair of wings, so that might be a good image. Other options would be a letter "P" or a tiny "Pav." But I'm open to pretty much anything.

Lil Chris · 11-04-2006, 09:09 PM

Wings might be interesting...
Question:
When you say wings, could you give me a style of wings (butterfly, bird, abstract, angel).

Savage · 11-04-2006, 09:11 PM

Eagles wings actually, but at that size they'll be hard to discern anyway.

Daniel Terhorst · 11-04-2006, 09:19 PM

I'm sure someone can do better than this:

And a joke for those who remember (good times...):

Lil Chris · 11-04-2006, 09:20 PM

I think your right...
O.K. Well, let me ponder it for a bit...

Adam · 11-04-2006, 09:21 PM

Ahhh, the good old P-Wings...

Too bad they're copyrighted. I wonder if we can talk to the makers of Super Mario 3 and get written permission.

Zach · 11-04-2006, 09:47 PM

His favicon is neat, whatever it is.

PhoenixOwl · 11-04-2006, 10:08 PM

I wish you could go with the Mario P wing. Too bad it's copywrighted.

falcon · 11-04-2006, 10:16 PM

Ok, given that I've had a glass or two of wine this evening and am probably being a little slow, what is a favicon???

Lil Chris · 11-05-2006, 12:56 AM

A favicon is the little icon in front of the http:// in your address bar and in your bookmarks/favorites (provided your browser displays it). it's the little purple guy

I have always wondered what the current favicon was supposed to be and couldn't figure it out. Now, after this (above) I associated it with consciousness, I can't help but think of it as a "representation/personalization of consciousness" when I look at it now, even after knowing what it actually is. Sourceofmiracles, you're very creative!

I would have never thought of that. I don't think I'll ever be able to dissociate this in my mind. lol

Andreas · 11-06-2006, 12:13 AM

How ironic, I started a thread (Invasion of the Purple Tribbles) and thought the same thing!

Eaglewings is a great idea, Steve. Reminds me something...

But those who hope in the LORD
Will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not be faint.
~ Isaiah 40:31

Amit · 11-08-2006, 02:33 PM

Hmmmmm wings are a bit too cliche. You've got the Red Bull advertisements that have wings and lets face it, Red Bull isn't one of the most healthiest drinks in the world!

I like the idea of a "P" better or how about "SP" but designed in a way that overlaps or interconnect the two letters

SP could stand for:

Steve Pavlina, Smart People.

SenorKaffee · 11-08-2006, 08:41 PM

If it ain´t broke, don´t fix it. I really like the current icon.

Caveman Joe · 11-08-2006, 09:14 PM

"Don't change it" - seconded. An icon will take on meaning of its own, given enough power, and yours will become identifiable in its own good time.

PS - what the hell is Grimace, anyway? I mean, you've got the hamburgular to represent burgers, the little french-fry dudes, the chicken girl - is Grimace the purple wobbly bits that McDonalds meat is made of?
Or is he a relic from when McDonalds were doing LiverBurgers or something?
