NBF Favicon...... - Page 2

I think, with all do respect, you may have missed his point.
First I disgree that its "fine" if he doesnt have it, and here's why:
Lets say the poll for the animation is 70% yeahy 30% neay

the 70% yeahy will still be happy with a non-animated one (or completely oblivious as noone as it has made much a fuss using someone elses since boards inception) and you risk annoying and driving away the other 30% if it stays.
Where as is u use a non aminated one it might not be AS pleasing to the 70% but you likely wont alienate anyone.
My (and prolly tridge's too) favicon only toolbar is the launchpad to our entire browser and is a very important feature/piece of real-estate- i.e. you would prolly want to maximize the favicons inclusion there.

Im worried that with the poll, we are gunna get a bunch of votes from people who may have never noticed before or cared but find the animation cool not realizing the negative implications of using it.

I think its cool as hell and great work, just not a great favicon for something we would try to target into peoples bookmarks toolbar.

popularity is not necessarily the best indication of usability/functionality, especially seeing as the bulk of this sites traffic is from non registered users who prolly bookmark this site and cant vote anyway.

If favicon enabled toolbars didnt exist Id vote for the animated one, but thats not the paradigm.

Keep in mind that NO major site uses an animated favicon, its not cuz they dont know how to make them! its a functionality issue of annoying people like me n tridge and risk losing our bookmarks/page hits/etc and we may be a minority 10% 40% who knows but there is no sense in appealing to a bunch of people who never cared in the first place with the poll as the determinant.

(Although I find nothing wrong with the pole in and of itsel, Djembe's ico is off the hook, and he should get aCcolades accordingly) just not the determinant
It may have been better to waited for 5 or 10 distinct entries and submitted them for Poll in a higher traffic section, heck Ive been here 5 years 2k+ posts and never been in off topic, we prolly can get a better sample if poll sits in a more prominent section (news?)

My thoughts too, dont get me wrong the laptop tie-in is a good idea but doesnt execute as well for some reason..... again why I prefer the bold branding of my second submission.

Again I would prefer we saw some more and varied entrants b4 making a decision, all submissions so far have revoled around 2 designs, and there is nothing that says NBF icon needs to have its name in any way represented in the favicon (see googles new favicon) and while a laptop based favicon seems like the obvious choice it rather elementary and lacks panache.

We'll see how the poll goes, its not really very scientific sampling, but given me tridge and another guy all have the same objection so far I dont know what percentage of votes proves our point?

Hey NBF has been 5+ years without its own favicon, the need for change was my idea, of course Im biased not liking the animated one, but I dont see a rush to get it up(unless u pick one of mine haha) there has already been other vocalizations of dislike for the animation lets see what peeps can come with this weekend..... and re poll
