The difficult decision is how to take this finely detailed icon and produce a 16 x 16 favicon.

    I came up with three different options:

    1. ubiquibot-favicon1.png 2. ubiquibot-favicon2.png 3. ubiquibot-favicon3.png

    Seeing them on my blog doesn’t quite compare to how they will be used, so here are some screenshots of them in context:1

    Skin/command subscription

    favicon1.png Option 1

    favicon2.png Option 2

    favicon3.png Option 3

    In Ubiquity with the Ubiquity Evolved skin

    1. For those of you who are wondering, Option 2 is just a wee bit bigger in scale than Option 3, and thus has brighter eyes but is a little cut off on top. ↩
