32x32 scales down to 16x16 automatically. I use 32 in webdesign as its easier to get a clear image

IMO we should avoid 'G35' (too specific)

^True, but if you scale it down in photoshop, it will come out better.
Also, the .ico file should not be just one resolution. You can pack a .ico with several different resolution icons.

BTW, if anyone wants to suggest an image but doesn't have the ability to pack it into an .ico file properly, just post a 64x64 version and I'll scale it down an pack it for you.

I'm not going to be presumptuous.
I assume if enough people like it better, they'll say so either in this thread or by PM.

Well lets put it this way.

They finally got one but it looks like crap, I think its the best time to try to get them to fix it, is when they just tried to, so they are still warm

It's multi-resolution too. So it'll make a clean image at 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, and (of course) 16x16
this looks good, but IMO, it needs a transparent background. Just the logo, none of that black...

thoughts?

i like that idea... only problem i see is a lot of people have the favicons of their bookmarks placed against a grey background (i.e. the default color of firefox) so with a transparent background, and a grey-ish logo, it may turn out nearly invisible

so with that in mind, maybe make the background transparent, but also a thin black outline around the existing Mt Fuji

IMO, if you have a high contrast or colored logo, then clear background works.
With a light colored or silver logo, I think you need a background of some sort to give it contrast.

Exactly.

Everyone is going to have a different color background or skin in their browser. The background color of the favicon should be the opposite of the actual favicon image color so that it will always be 100% visible. Web design 101, especially with font colors.

The one NFSP G35 came up with is most appropriate IMO. Thanks for caring enough to fix it staff!!

^+1 Yes, thanks for caring Mods.

This is what it looks like in Chrome... kind of like a butt... or scuba goggles... a black background, IMHO, would be a step in the right direction.
