All Web sites have a favicon, if for no other reason to avoid litter your server with 404 error logs. If you have not yet received a favicon on your site, see Faviconist, a new developer Michael Mahemoff favicon generator.
Faviconist is built on two basic premises, that you should not need Photoshop just to create a favicon, and that most of the favicons are only a letter on a background color. As Mahemoff writes on his blog, Faviconist is "the 95% of people who do not want to micro-conception their icons;" the rest will always be need for PhotoShop. »
Once you have your favicon look the way you want simply click on the button "save favicon" on Faviconist generates some cut and paste the code, you can deposit into your pages. If you prefer to host the image yourself, just right click on the image and save it.
Even if you do not have to generate a new favicon, the site is still well worth exploring just to see what can be done with the tag HTML5 Canvas and processing client-side. In fact, the only thing that server-side is a .png to .ico favicons format file conversion to use. Node.js, Kaffeine, JQuery and Google font are other tools that faviconist relies on design and generate files of icons. Don't forget to throw a blog of Mahemoff for more details on the operation of the Faviconist.
