Now I’d installed a plugin on my windows machine but I’ve recently moved over to a Mac so I had to go searching again for a plugin to create .ico files. A bit of trial and error on a few different plugins and I came across one from Telegraphics that does the job. Get the Mac CS3 version obviously if you’re running CS3.

Follow the instructions on the dmg (basically copy the plugin into your /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plugins/File Types/ folder

Launch up photoshop … and you’ll now be able to save your file as a .ico and use it on all your websites.

It truely surprises me the amount of sites that don’t go to the bother of creating these and that use the Joomla default one. If you’re not going to use one … at least don’t use the joomla one :D

Thanks to Emmett from over at SoundTrack.ie for pointing out these free icons from Everaldo Coelho that are up on Wikimedia the other day. They are called the Crystal Clear collection and they really are quite nice. They are available as 128×128 width icons so I’d guess you can scale them down to whatever suits.

My only problem with them is they are slightly too comic but hey free is free and they are great quality.

Are there any other collections out there I should know about ?

I’m currently working on a transport website and have no idea what the Font they are using in their logo is …

To the rescue comes http://www.identifont.com/ … but unfortunately this time it didn’t come close. .. you enter a number of characters and it asks you questions based on that …

Its been a life saver for me in the past however move over identifont there’s a new tool in town …

http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont

upload your graphic of the font you’re working with and it’ll come back with close matches

(yes I realise they’ve been around for a while)
