use a non-default favicon
That lovely "B" you see in your browser tab is just begging to be replaced. Three options:
- remove and go without.
- replace with the Brigade program icon. See: http://brigade.codeforamerica.org/
- develop a custom one.
My preference would be for (1) in a pinch and (2) if someone is motivated. (2) is the approach we're taking on the redesign of www.codefordc.org, so it would be all nice and matchy.
do we still need a favicon? I took Matth's (2) suggestion and quickly created one from brigade.codeforamerica's logo. I hope it's OK. the .ico file is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/08qo9zg6qhw61ra/favicon.ico (can't attach in comment here)
the regular PNG version is here:
Oh, very cool. Feel free to make a pull request, or I'll get to it pretty soon! Or maybe we should use the official one? http://brigade.codeforamerica.org/favicon.ico

Cheri's is better! Tell the official one to use hers!

Agree! It needs to be sized differently though, I think. I'm not an expert, but I believe it needs to be either 16x16 or 32x32, and I think the former is more compatible. Poking around a bit now to figure this out. A post to the main list might sort this though.

FWIW this pretty exhaustive article says that a bunch of sizes matter, but if you're going to provide just one, 16x16 is most essential: http://www.creativebloq.com/design/create-perfect-favicon-12112760

Ah, that's true. I should've resized it to 16. Here's a zip with 16, 32 and 48 https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gegn3b7t5gf2h0/favicon.zip
and a regular PNG for view:
hmm now I'm not sure vs. standard brigade .ico; maybe with transparency around the corners? take a look with two tabs side-by-side...
