I have been making high-quality svg icons for my site these last few days. For fun, I also made a new one for BLF. If SB wants it, the download link is below. Let me know what you guys think! The trick is making it look good crammed into a tiny favorites list. I think I did well.
Looks pretty good!
Congrats on 1111 posts!
EDIT:
How about white text on a dark blue background?
Thanks for the feedback. Yea, wow 1111. Now 1112.
please no!
in iconography it goes downhill.
that orientation is even wrong for ties.
Haha, ok, I straightened it.
Or more traditional:
Ok, I noticed the hundreds of views and only a few comments. I think change is not wanted. I finalized the traditional one, and will leave it at that.
So why change at all if it looks like the old one?…
- The new one is infinite resolution, way beyond HD and UHD.
- The existing one on BLF appears to be a Google image grab, which means it’s due for a change.

Hi Joshk (and everyone else)!
Wow, thanks for sharing your design, I really appreciate it.
The current favicon was actually created from scratch by myself, with all of my awe-inspiring lack of artistic talent. 
It’s just a starburst or flare effect, one of the ones built into GIMP. Or maybe it’s called “supernova” effect, I can’t remember anymore. But I happen to like the current one because it’s “bursty”, as though somebody were shining a light in your face.
Thanks for the appreciation SB. Adding a burst is sure possible, but I should get back to priorities. So if anyone wants to download the Inkscape file below and continue work, you sure can.
I relinquish copyright or whatnot to the BLF community.

Awesome, thanks a lot Joshk!
