pennmom, The bear we have now is very cute up close, but in the browser it is so tiny, that if you don't know it is a bear, it can be anything. You gave only one choice in your poll, but I like 2 of them and I cannot decided which one lol... I like the leafy bear, it is light and I think it will be more identifiable in it's tiny form, too... I also like the multi-paw, the colors are matching with forum header (well... I use the original theme)... I think, the paw, though.... hm... if it is tiny, it may would look like a cat paw or dog paw... so... I think, one of the side-view bears would be a better choice, even if they are tiny, or would they be dark, their figure is more identifiable as bears I will come here, no matter what it is in the browser, so the bear we have right now is completely fine, too.

moni , It reduces it down to a 16 x 16 favicon image so yes, he is soooo tiny. I love our mascot but he may need a replacement for the browser icon  I found a couple of Moose that may work too

pennmom, The Moose looks fun! I like the bear more, though, afterall, he is our mascot, as you said. Maybe you could go with something stylistic. Like a logo type of thing.. something like this:
Sorry, they are hotlinked, hence not reduced, but you know what I'm talking about... I have to repeat, though, I like the current one, we know it is a bear, even if it kinda resembles to something else for the first look...lol.

moni, it never hurts to get fresh ideas, I could try to add the paw prints and bears just to see if they show up better, it's just a pain in the butt to upload because you have to create an .ico favicon first and then jump thru a few hoops to get it to show as a transparent image versus an image in a square white box which I don't like and this has to be done for each new image I try

So far it looks like everyone wants a different icon. Do you think we could just throw them all together  |

pennmom, Leave the bear right now, I think... On the weekend I could work on Woody... or Woodsy or what the name is, and just give him some contrast so he would show up better.... I just need a "go" from you, because it takes a bit to photoshop him. Also, you don't need to change the favicon just see if it looks better... you can just simply reduce the size, and see if it looks ok... But, really, leave Mr. W. right now, and let me to work on him a bit... I think, with a little contrast he would work.

I picked the leafy bear because the shape and colors aren't like the other favicons that are usually among my tabs (I usually have quite a few open).
And I have to say... the black bear is cute in its full-size form, but when it's very small, it looks triangular. Guess what other common small image is dark-colored and triangular. I had to put my reading magnifier on to double-check...
Another suggestion might be a tree.

Cute, but now he looks even more like that particular emoji... the one that is small, triangular, and smelly.
This is why I voted for the leaf-patterned bear.

LOL, pennmom, I will be brutally honest with you... before it looked like a black turd... I think, that's what Valkara, meant by "smelly",....now it looks like a brown turd... I think, the solution will be, if we keep Woodsey, white contour lines around the body (inside the picture) to separate his head from his body and toes. Or cut off his head for the favicon, and forget his cute body altogether.  |

pennmom, I have a fairly big screen so have always been able to see the icon..so I will bow out of this and let those who are having difficulty figure out the best one that shows for them. I think they are all good..so its the visual that will count I guess.

joybelle, I see them fine too but I don't know if that's because I already know what it is. One of my son's just showed up with McDonalds breakfast so I asked Josh if he knew what it was and he said it looked like a sitting bear so I asked for clarification on whether he said "sitting" bear or "shitting" bear and he said "does it matter, don't bears shit in the woods?" Rolling Along PS: hmmm, who does he get his sick sense of humor from? surely from his dad lol

pennmom, The bear is fine, as it is. see the screenshots below about what I see in the browser tabs, and on the browser homepage. It is fine! Bit hard to identify, but it is not like I don't know where I am, when I'm foruming... lol!
