About Favicon

Posted by admin on May 15, 2009 in Software, Web design | 4 comments

Those little cute icon thingy that sits right next to the web address in the address bar or on the tab or in your bookmark….aren’t they cute? They are actually quite easy to make – if you have photoshop. Here’s a 3 step guide on how to make your own favicon:

1. Download and install the ICO Plugin for Photoshop from Telegraphics.

2. Create a 16 x 16 pixels canvas in photoshop (or you can start with 54 x 54 to avoid torturing your eyes, then shrink it down to 16 x 16 later).

3. When you’re happy with your design, select “Save As’ from the menu and choose “windows icon” as the format.

You can upload the ICO file as your favicon wherever appropriate.

Finito.
