My company is an interactive agency. For a few years now as a standard procedure we've created favicons (favicon.ico) for websites we build. Recently, we have started creating an Apple Bookmark Icon (customIcon.png) as well.
As an owner of an iPhone I dig the bookmark icon. But in day to day browsing on a computer I actually use the favicon. In fact all my browser bookmarks are simply the favicon. It allows me to have more bookmarks without displaying any text. For me and those that use favicons in this manner, the image essentially defines the entire site. I noticed recently Google updated their favicon. I also noticed this site does not have one, despite a perfect mark to use (the X in IXDA). I was curious what your thoughts are on the importance or need of these images/icons that visually define a web presence. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
