This site needs something better than the stock vBulletin icon.

Here's what it is and how to make one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

Well here are some quick .bmp using the same color scheme. May not show well on this background but it's a start. I like KISS especially when working with something this small. Maybe someone can do better.

Making tiny graphics isn't my forte, but maybe something with a lambda, Spartan shield style?

Like the Greek lambda symbol used in half-life equations or the carrot "^" looking symbol used on the shields? Both are different.

I could do something like that - out of curiousity how's that tie in with this site?

Well, someone JUST turned it on a few minutes ago. Look at the top of your browser in the URL banner (or in your tabs if you use tab browsing.) You'll see my icon next to it. See it?

Good thing Razoreye has photoshop skills because it looks like he wins by default :D

I like it, big thumbs up!

Thank you, sir! It's not easy working with such small pixels. It limits your design. I thought the color scheme would be hard to see but it turned out quite well and fits with the site!

Now what do I win? J/k!
