Site Favicon

AmDD

Im also no designer :/ I personally like the dark grey/blueish color icon myself.

@Moonman - nice work.

Totally agree with @Wellenreiter - if you look at his icon for this forum user, if we could get icons for that image/logo - that would be awesome.

I found this on google
https://www.feathercoin.com/feathercoin-graphic-resources/

Personally i like the #354a51 colored one more, gives me a more contemporary ICO-ey vibe (the silver one gives me a 2000s feeling - asked 2 of my mates, both using cryptocurrency and they concurred). Also, i saw in the ftc telegram that people sort of like the dark sticker.

Which one you guys like the most?

I love the silver one a lot yet I agree with you… imho it doesn’t really conform to current design standards.

I like the silver one, too, but why not offer a selection of icons and even stickers for dealers?

We have two different topics here:

we need icons included in our web presence, that are displayed well on all platforms. This is including the favicons in the address bar of the browsers.
we should offer 3rd parties icons that they can include in their web presence. These could have slightly different flavors, so people can choose

For point 2) we should update the web page, as for example iwagom is not active in the forum anymore and some icons may not match today’s standards. Then we can link the page under the resouces menu of the web page.

Personally the silver one grew on me after so many years holding ftc, i have emotional bonds with that one :P
But i think we should orient towards new users that are in the current cryptospace.
Regarding general presskit/logos etc graphic material, i believe there should be another thread, perhaps poll to determine the visual branding direction of the project, any opinions on this?

Also, we could use this on the forum, so it is consistent with the main page favicon, what do you think?

Here I am , what do I need to do ?

Moonman

@acidd
Hi, after the discussiom eventually the best option became using the same favicon for the forum as for the main site, do you need any help doing it?

Wellenreiter

it’s done :D

can someone test, if it shows nice on all platforms/browsers?
I’ve tested : Opera/Linux and Firefox/Linux

confirmed - looks fine on Chrome, MacOS High Sierra

Moonman

Works nicely :)

If some day you guys have time, we can add the code for all devices

Will prepare the icons in the following days

Wellenreiter

There are touch icoins in the upload directory, but they are not in the right format, and display the feather with the word ‘feathercoin’ as shown in the upper left of the forum header.
We need to re-create them.
I can do that, but for windows I have no clue, how the browserconfig.xml must look like…

Moonman

@wellenreiter
I uploaded a package here https://ufile.io/5llge , html snippet is included in the zip.
More likely it will have to be included both in the main site and the forum head section separately.

Wellenreiter

Thanks a lot!!! :D :D :D

Will implement it begin of next week.

Moonman

Cheers :)
