Quick summary: I made a favicon.ico for PostgreSQL. Link below.
Many sites use a favicon.ico file, which is a small bitmap located in the
root diretory for a website. It is very small and web browsers typically
use it as the icon for the site: it may appear in the title bar, the
task bar, or next to the list of bookmarks. (Konquerer, for example,
uses all three locations, while Netscape uses none, so YMMV). Google has
a colorful "G", MySQL has a simplified dolphin, freshmeat has a yellow
"][", and so on.
I created one in GIMP for PostgreSQL, which was difficult given the
limitation of a 16x16 pixel icon that still looks like an elephant. :)
Zoomed up close it looks terrible, of course, but then so do all the other
sites above. I've also managed to shrink it down to a mere 124 bytes. The
fact that elephants are not very colorful helped in this. :)
Hopefully this can become a part of postgresql.org - why should other sites
have all the fun? Rather than try an attach the itty-bitty image to this
email, I've set it up for the following domain. Just visit the page and
hopefully your browser will show it to you in some form:
