Description Isarra 2012-08-15 05:27:54 UTC
Currently the Wikimedia favicon (used on Foundation sites as well as other projects and pages without their own specific logos/favicons) is quite blurry and artifacted: https://wikimediafoundation.org/favicon.ico

Could someone with access to that be a dear and update it with this, which is much clearer and thus better maintains the visual identity of the organisation? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Wikimedia-logo.svg/16px-Wikimedia-logo.svg.png

It will need to be converted to .ico, but that's pretty trivial with GIMP or the like (I can do that part if needed).
Comment 1 Ori Livneh 2012-08-20 06:19:51 UTC
For the record, the favicon in question is in use on the following wikis:

advisory
comcom
foundation
grants
langcom
otrs-wiki
searchcom
wikimania
wikimania2005
wikimania2006
wikimania2007
wikimania2008
wikimania2009
wikimaniateam
wikimedia.org
www.wikidata.org

Isarra, could you go ahead and create a suitable replacement?
Comment 2 Isarra 2012-08-20 17:47:36 UTC
One of these should work:
http://gardenofremembering.org/projects/unreal/wmfavicon1.ico - white background
http://gardenofremembering.org/projects/unreal/wmfavicon2.ico - transparent background

White background favicon

Oh, right, someone said it was possible to add 'attachments'... are these like vacuum cleaner attachments?

Transparent background favicon
Comment 5 Isarra 2012-09-10 18:38:33 UTC
The favicon has since been updated, but remains not entirely fixed - it is still slightly distorted and using inconsistent colours, with a bit of a grey outline on some of the shapes, rather like someone tried to manually cut it out of the old one. While this is at least an improvement, could someone please update it to use one of the rendered versions included here or render one from the svg itself using a reasonably accurate renderer for any desired manual tweaking? Thanks.

Fixed favicon

Improved favicon.
Comment 7 MZMcBride 2012-11-29 03:56:41 UTC
Assigning this to Ori, as he's a shell user who can push this out when appropriate.
Comment 8 MZMcBride 2012-11-29 03:59:23 UTC
Bugzilla cleverly discarded my other changes (adding two keywords and actually assigning the bug) after throwing an error about how I need to add a comment when changing a bug from unconfirmed to assigned. Cute.

Properly assigning the bug and adding two keywords ("easy" and "design"). And I guess I should add "shell" too. I'll do that too.
Comment 9 Ori Livneh 2012-11-30 01:57:32 UTC
Gerrit change #36105
