Favicon Contest

posted August 02

I’m going to be holding a contest where you guys can design the next swimchick Favicon!
If you don’t know what a favicon is, it’s that little designed icon in your browser next to the website name. Mine is that red SC lookin thing. It’s not all that fancy but I suppose I’m no good with anything under 500000 pixels. It’s true.

This is why I need your help.
The rules are pretty simple, and the prize is seeing YOUR design as the official favicon used for the site! In addition, one free month of advertising.

Please read the rules before beginning.

Rules
1. Favicon size MUST be 16×16 pixels
2. Must have the letters “SC” or “SWIMCHICK” in it
3. You may only enter once
4. Must be your original work
5. Anything you use must have appropriate permission
6. I don’t even know if this is humanely possible but no vulgarity or nudity, etc.. Like I said, I don’t even know how you would do it with 16 pixels LOL but hey in 2010 I wouldn’t even question it – let’s keep this PG.

And if you can follow those rules, you are good to go! Once you’ve created your design please post the URL in the comments and that’s it! You’ve been entered.
The deadline for this contest is August 29th so this gives you all plenty of time, hopefully.
