Default FavIcon for Guild Wars Guru

So I've had someone request that we do a FavIcon for Guild Wars Guru. Just wanted to post here to see if any of you fine artists and designers might be able to come up with!
  • Ideas I had were doing a GW helmet or shield.
  • The G in Guild Wars.
So if you'd like to help out please just post your ideas here.

It has to be saved as an icon and there are a lot of free websites out there that can do this for you. Examples below:

If you want to do it in Photoshop here's a site that gives a walk through with the plugins:

2 questions: Whats a favicon? is it the icon that shows up on the firefox bookmark?

And: would the icon maker in MS visual studio.net 2003 be able to do this, and can it convert a image file into a .ico without having to get all complicated like?

Textless Version


Text-Only Version


'Elite Guru' Medallion with the letter 'G'


Shield + letter 'G'


Simple Golden G


Comparison of 5 FavIcons at 16x16, since prior images of mine were in 32x32;

Edit: Removed the first 2 helmet + book + text images, as they were both awful. Also, I apologise for the colour bleeding due to quality degradation. Forgot converting to jpg did that <_<
Edit: Added in a fifth again.

No other interest in faviconning the site up?

I think the Golden 'G' would be ideal. Looking at FavIcons for other sites, the ones that grab you are simple and bright.
