Favicon replacement
It should now be obvious for anyone who's tested the dev releases that the next stable release will be a huge step forward on the graphics front, what with the UI facelift and new big maps.
A consequence of this will be the update of the website favicon. Its replacement could either be:
- the new village status icon, in the continuity of the existing
- or a new shield icon, which as far as I'm concerned says "wesnoth" a lot more than the village
Thoughts, anyone?
Edit: I am also attaching as a third candidate a shield icon created by GunChleoc that is vastly better and more faithful to the actual logo than my own attempt

Re: Favicon replacement
I like both the shields quite a lot. I like the style of your shield, but GunChleoc's says 'wesnoth' a lot more. Although I like the village, and even think the current one is fine, I do think a shield would make for a more 'unified' icon for both the game and the website.
My vote goes for GunChleoc's shield.

I vote for GunChleoc's. I think it represents Wesnoth the best of the three.

Re: Favicon replacement
LordBob, should we make it a poll?
I am also in favor of the shield by GunCheloc.

Re: Favicon replacement
I actually prefer LordBob’s shield since it seems crisper and less like a downscaled version of a larger and overly detailed image, although it might be a tad too wide.

Re: Favicon replacement
Would it be possible to kind of merge the two together? So like a Wesnoth logo style shield, but without the swords?

The middle one works best for me.LordBob wrote:Then, how about either of those ?
At that scale the swords are barely more than noise.
The only one without them is doing better.

I'd go for 2 or 5.

Re: Favicon replacement
I still like GunChleoc's the most.
