FAVICONTEST

Dear Y'all,

For awhile now I have been quite annoyed with Rhizome's favicon---> Our current favicon feels a little clunky and if you ask me it is high time for a change. I have tried and failed several times to create one that is more elegant and after some careful consideration and consultation with the Rhizome team I think it is time to turn to our community for a favicon refresh. So for the next week, I invite all of you to try your hand at creating a favicon for Rhizome. If you would like to submit a design simply create a 16x16 pixel png/gif/jpg file, upload it to your server/tumblr/blog and embed it as a comment on this thread. You have until March, 10th 2010 to enter at which point the Rhizome staff will get together and choose a winner. The winning icon will replace our current one and we will add a credit somewhere on the site that links to an URL of your choosing. (Full Disclosure: The credit link will probably be small and at the bottom of a page somewhere, but come on.... bragging rights? google rank improvement?) Can't wait to see what sorts of big ideas you can come up with with such a small canvas.

Happy Hunting,

John Michael Boling

If you don't have access to a server to host your submission please feel free to e-mail it to me at jm.boling[at]rhizome.org with the subject "FAVICONTEST" and I will upload and post it to this thread for you.

Hey John,

Just to clarify, are you looking for just a new favicon or a remake of the artist designed Rhizome logo?

M.River. We are just looking for a new favicon. The artist designed Rhizome starburst logo will remain intact. It just didn't translate very well to the current favicon. We are open for people to still try to use the starburst in some way in their favicons if they like.

I'm a huge fan of Rafael Rozendaal, but custom gif is definitely the way to go...

:// or variations on this design:
the new museum shows its location, the building, in the favicon.
it would be humorous if rhizome - as an affiliate of the museum - would mirror that.
(referencing the web as a location in the favicon).

this option combines the bright colors of your identity with a slightly different take on how you use lines in your identity. the stacked shape also references the shape of the new museum building.

The internet sucks for the low income, they end up at public librarys checking thier e-mail having limited time and access restricted. This consumer based petro-chemical age is simply creating a larger gap globally of haves and have nots.Library lines and waiting areas. I see light at the end of my tunnel. Alot of these people with thier wireless laptops hanging out @ cyber cafes in most major cities acting all cool and sophisticated are in for a big surprise when they get downsized. Thier landlord raises thier rent and they lose medical benefits and thier job seeks budget cuts.The now free wireless access will be upgraded to a pay as you go system. People with cell phone plans? Call me on the weekend I have free minutes? You idiot how much are you paying overall for your cell phone account? I see a lean green future for myself.Emphasis on lean. Obamma single payer health care?Oh wait now it,s health care reform? For lower income?(laughing) Call me on your cell phone or e-mail me about 2 or 3 years from now, YOU will see then.....The wealthy republicans are sitting back laughing sitting on thier money Which will probably never be fairly allocated. TAX The RICH feed cloth house and provide medical care for the lower income and poor. Again laughing.......Money talks bullcrap walks, bicycle or public transportation? City dwellers renting will be squeezed my 30 year old son is living in a shed on long island where normally they would keep thier lawnmowers and kids bicycles. I seen the handwriting on the wall along time ago. Yuppies middle class and lower middle class will be financially squeezed and victimized. CONSUMER BASED petro-chemical system wins! YOU LOSE! THE END. say hello to Bill gates for me. Oh he isn,t as wealthy anymore? Nevermind......LMAO. HEY thanks I feel so much better now? yeah right?
