There is a bizarre favicon inconsistency developing on *.postgresql.org subsites: www et al. blue elephant wiki none developer black elephant archives blue elephant buildfarm black elephant git black elephant www.postgresqlfr.org WTH??? Is there a secret meaning behind the black elephant or should we all move to the blue one?

Black for developer sites, blue for user? I don't think there's any plan behind it though, just coincidence. I'm happy to use the blue one everywhere. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK Ltd: http://www.enterprisedb.com PostgreSQL UK 2008 Conference: http://www.postgresql.org.uk

They have different favicons for their different websites but they at least keep a small mozilla head on each of them. See http://www.mozilla.org/ with the red lizard head, see http://wiki.mozilla.org with the book and a small red lizard head.

Nice idea, though my first reaction to the toolbar was "what the heck are those little red butterflies". I'm not sure if you're going to be able to fit an elephant on a small area leaving enough space for the other icon behind it. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

I'm fairly certain it's "old sites" -> "ugly black elephant" and "new sites" -> "pretty blue elephant". Then git and buildfarm probably just copied it off developer.postgresql.org without checking what was available :-) personally, I like the blue one much better, and would suggest we switch all postgresql.org sites to it :-) //Magnus

Basically, I created the black version de novo in March of 2002 because the project did not have one yet. At some point the newer blue one was created, but many sites used the black one because the blue was not yet created (or because they liked it better?) I'd not be too upset if the black one was replaced, but I'll point out that mine weighs in at a mere 124 bytes, which indicates the blue one, at 2550 bytes, might be in need of a vacuum full. :) - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200803121720 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkfYSS0ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsgi7gCgx42uVQ0+zrJPm6SBRbl7Kz6n kvUAoKP5/4PXZTPRnnG1sv5hgD0Qwt1j =IpU9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The favicon? You can just grab it from the website, no? All websites need the same format, AFAIK? While I haven't looked at it (since I didn't turn it into the .ico), I think there are high res (or vector even) version of it available on the graphics project on pgFoundry. //Magnus
