Can you judge a book by its cover?
Maybe a favicon.ico tells you all you need to know about Ibatis vs Jaxor...
(see attached PNG or references below.)
My preliminary findings:
- the iBATIS icon is larger
- the iBATIS icon is more flexible (it can be used in both large and small contexts)
- the Jaxor icon is leaner (and looks to be more aerodynamic) but I'm not sure if it is also meaner. (I'm not gonna mess with that iBATIS icon! Ouch!)
- the Jaxor icon is leaner (and looks to be more aerodynamic) but I'm not sure if it is also meaner. (I'm not gonna mess with that iBATIS icon! Ouch!)
- they are both pretty cool looking.
- at that 16 x 16 resolution, Jaxor requires a closer look. (both of you icons: what the heck are you, anyway?)
You may be thinking, "Not very scientific."
Someone pls feel free to examine the ico files more closely... I think I'm on to something.
(What software was used to create each of them? I am over budget now.)
Here is my favicon.ico theory in its simplest form:
"You can tell a lot about someone by the favicon.ico file in their root directory."
There I said it.
Probably could have sold this concept to Jakob Nielson, but I choose to open source it. Anyone want to co-author that favicon book with me? : )
