Off-topic? Could AppHarbor get a webpage shortcut icon (fav-icon)?

Silly, I know, but it serves a practical purpose. When I have a million tabs open, the fact that AppHarbor doesn't specify its own icon, means that the browser will use the generic "Page" icon (like half my other tabs). It makes finding the tab with AppHarbor more difficult. I'll make one for you if you don't have the time! =)

Cheers!

    I've attached my attempt at an icon. I hereby grant you a royalty-free paid-up license for this work and all its derivative works in perpetuity, etc, ad fin, blah blah blah... ;-)
    e.g. -- please feel free to use if desired. It's a standard 16x16 8bit all-browser compatible vnd.microsoft.icon (*.ico) format file.

    Thanks Jonathan. We've shrunk the Twitter logo we use, and that seems to work out.

    Great! Thanks! Two quick points...

    1. Please do this for your support site (this site!) as well. Perhaps with a subtle variation so we can find our control windows as distinct from our question/answer windows? (just a thought).

    2. Minor little issue, your twitter logo really doesn't work very well as a favicon. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the logo just looks like a dark square with white dots. The one just below it was my take on how your logo might look. I don't really care if you use my file, idea, or concept (although, how awesome would it be to contribute to AppHarbor?! ;-) ), but what you have now does not really connect with your brand. Just my two cents.

    Thanks again for this great service!

    Cheers,

    The favicon is now on the support site too.

    We're working on getting a new visual identity, including a logo. Once we have that, we'll update the favicon too.
