Favourite Favicons

“Over the past month or so I’ve been collecting some of my favourite favicons on the web for interest’s and posterity’s sake. In case you’re unaware, favicons are the wee icons that are displayed occasionaly, it seems depending on how the stars are aligned, in the location bar of your browser or in your bookmarks or in your tabs if your browser supports them. Some people have clearly put a lot of effort into their 16 x 16 pixel creations.”
