Inspire Yourself: 50 Remarkable Favicons

激发你的灵感：50个优秀的Favicons

引用:

Actually it's a pity that many designers don't really make use of them. Favicons, mini graphics for a particular web-site, can be displayed in the browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface. To be recognized immediately, favicons have to be visually appealing and fit to the design or logo of a given page. In fact, if you use Favicons for your sites, users can easily find your URL in their bookmarks - in this way you create some kind of a visual connection between your web-site and your sites' visitors.

很遗憾，事实上许多设计师都不能很好的运用他们（Favicons）。Favicons，袖珍图形，适用于比较细致的网站，可以在浏览器的地址栏里显示，紧邻着书签列表里网站的名字，还紧邻着文件对话框界面的网页标题。直接得到认知，favicons应该悦目，并且要适合页面的设计或标识。事实上，如果你在网站上使用favicons，用户可以轻易在他们的书签里找到你的URL——通过这种方式，你在你的网站和网站的访问者之间创造了一些视觉连接。
