Can we get iOS favicon support?

Pinning the app on the homescreen as a webapp produces this ugly icon. Would be nice to have it pretty :slight_smile:

This… is interesting…

This is a good service tho. Been using it many times

Those are surprisingly bad results.

That is our logo though :slight_smile: What do you suggest?

I think he’s suggested to stretch out the logo to the size of an iOS icon. I did that exactly via the link OkiDoki has dropped above.

The only thing about it, I did that for simple html website or for WordPress ones. Not sure if it’s gonna work for discourse as well.

Here’s the recommendations for favicon’s size:

I think it’s some kind of hilarious after already using different size variations for a logo/favicon from 16x16 up to 512x512… that some ā€œvendorsā€ recommend any other inbetween sizes…

What’s next… pay for a license to use you own logo in some weird 187x134 size ???

( Well… someone has a patent on some special rounded edges… )

Following platform and context guidelines. With iOS, for starters, the icon needs to be full bleed. Since I’m likely the only one complaining about this I can provide the icon and design file if you send me the logo svg.

I’m not personally affected by this as I don’t pin sites on my home screen. But I can’t stretch the importance enough … of not stretching the logo!

Perhaps I butchered the identity guidelines but here’s an option.

@bartv any news on this?

I don’t have the SVG, I’m afraid. BA is such an old project that these have gone missing :-/ I imagine it’s not that hard to recreate though?

Feel free to try - in my experience these tools require manual cleaning up afterwards.

This is not a priority issue on my list; I’m happy to update the favicon if someone provides it, but I’m not going to spend time or monay into recreating the logo :slight_smile:

Send me a fav in DM

I wouldn’t mind, I’ll see what I can do this week. Do you still have the font? Or can the wordmark be updated too for you?

I played with an old file from this thread:

from @ThomasKole usnig subdiv and some edge crease:

and the b converted to curve:

..would this be sufficent ??

Hey @bartv, personally I am not in need of this favicon thing at all, but Im teaching my son currently a bit designer and so we decided to recreate it. He did the most of it, I made some final tweaks. :slightly_smiling_face: Its done manually, so its quite optimized.Here’s a comparison of the png logo and the vector version. I could share the svg as is, if there’s some interest in it, so you could turn it into a favicon or whatever you want.

Would still like to see this fixed :slight_smile:

Sounds like you should support the site financially so we can afford to get a developer to do it :slight_smile:
