I'm a late adopter, like I said.

I'm not sure if this preview will work, fingers crossed. But, something like this?

Or are wee going for wacky here?

Can't you just use some old headshot of Kathleen Wilson that you might have around?

Uh, I don't have the time (or skill) to design one, so allow me to just make a suggestion...How about a Ted "100% Hetro" Haggard pic?

@8. Heh. Brings back many unfortunate slashdot memories...

Why use the same one all the time? Why succumb to branding? Just take an interesting mini-crop of the Stranger Cover each week and make an icon out of that.

@10 agreed.

Or even having one for the Classifieds, Personals, Slog, Line Out, MainPage and Forums. ETC

@10 - Because browsers aggressively cache favicons and it wouldn't work.

I also don't have the time or skills to submit an actual favicon, but I would love it if you brought back the bald headed guy looking away that the Stranger used as an icon on shirts, etc. in the early years of publication-kind of like going old school for those of us who have been reading you for over a decade...

I Love IPA @13:

That was the first favicon I submitted...

Just use the 'S'. Having a random picture that no one can recognize doesn't do you any good. Instantly recognizable and instantly correlat-able is what you should aim for.
