Missing favicon #66

Open Araxeus opened 1 year ago

Araxeus commented 1 year ago

A colored favicon would probably be ideal

nicoburns commented 1 year ago

Hmm... I agree that a favicon would be a good idea. But I wonder whether something more unique might be a good idea, to make it easier to distinguish blessed.rs tabs from https://rust-lang.org and https://docs.rs tabs.

Araxeus commented 1 year ago

I only suggested the colored rust icon since I don't like the black one because I can't really see it with my dark tab background color

if you have a custom one then even better :)

Maybe a good use case for Stable Diffusion or one of the other AI image generators?

Araxeus commented 1 year ago

It's a bit hit or miss. Here's my result with 2 attempts on starryai starryai-0-430777316-1-0-photo I obviousy used the rust logo as base because without a base image, no result looked like the rust lang

Here are a few results with DALL-E 2 using prompt

(Logo for website) Orange gearwheel/cogwheel with a R inside it, inside a crate

because i dont have better ideas

Tho i'm sure someone can come up with something better than this 馃槄

I was thinking the Rust logo but with an angelic halo thingy, maybe? I tried putting that into Stable Diffusion but didn't immediately get something usable out.

I was thinking similarly, and I also tried Stable Diffusion without much sucess. Might have to do it manually. I also don't think Stable Diffussion is very good at producing images small enough for a favion.

Something like this perhaps:

I think cropped at the bottom would work well for a favicon:

...but currently the halo pretty disappears entirely if I make it small:

Maybe make the halo a little darker and/or add a subtle drop shadow? Could also use a simplified Rust logo here: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/opinion-changing-rusts-logo-would-have-a-big-benefit/17654/26?u=djc.

Araxeus commented 1 year ago

Maybe making the halo more like the internet explorer logo might help with visibility?

I also like the idea because it symbolizes unity/cohesion which goes well with the theme of the website

nicoburns commented 1 year ago

Hmm... that is kinda hilarious. But I'm not sure if it really conveys the idea of blessed anymore....

Some more inspiration from DALL-E 2

Wings could help make it more blessed

Love these!
