This reminds me of the flaming skulls from 1996 when the web was just starting to get some real use.

most of my favicons on my toolbar. The last thing I want is them blinking, flashing and moving on me. The posters who said you’d lose customers are right. You’d definitely lose me! Now an icon that subtly animates on mouse.

Just saw my first animated favicon today and I think they are fun. Some people just have no sense of humor. Thanks for blogging about it! I look forward to experimenting with it to see what is possible at that small size.

Congratulations! The greatest thing since blink tags!

The only way I’d have an animated favicon is if it was a very slow animation producing a subtle “gradual change” effect. That would mean a lot of frames, which would mean a filesize perhaps too large for a favicon. So I guess I probably wouldn’t even do a subtle animation.

I keep most of my favicons on my toolbar. The last thing I want is them blinking, flashing and moving on me. The posters who said you’d lose customers are right. You’d definitely lose me! Now an icon that subtly animates on mouseover…. that might be different.

I created one on only one page of my website to test it with a pretty cool long animation…

I think I’ve something unique. I’ve created six animated favicons (different favicons for different tabs/ares), integrated with my personal brand strategy.

Here’s the site and a posting with lots of background info:

I’m interested in what you think!
