Wtf is that favicon!...consisting of only 16 x 16 pixels they are a bitch to design... i know!....i have done a couple....i have also noticed some very new and sleek designs on this site...a very good job!...love what u done!....now just sort that favicon....will gladly do it....but if not and u have a specific designer then i am sure he/she can do better than what u currently got!....what about the 3 triangles in the weyland logo design or just something that does not look like that weird thing u currently got!

LOL, what is seen cannot be unseen. Now that little icon will forever be an anteater.

Lack of imaginations here i see......This is what the Favicon is - http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/537 Look at this past thread. The first photo of the Derelict Ship. It's the left tail end of the ship. Can you see it now?

So it's a very tightly cropped picture of a part of the derelict? Still looks more like a pangolin to me. ;)

Yeah basically I think its a cropped down version and they chose the left top tail of the derelict. Favicon's can be a torture to get perfect so maybe thats why there is a confusion.

Oh no doubt. 16X16 is not much to work with. I'm just glad the mystery is solved.

So thats the Favicon sorted out! What about this Space Jockey story??? lol I'll not start. There are so many threads on the site I've stopped looking at them all and will wait only another few weeks and discover the answers, well hopefully one or two at least.

LOL, indeed. I haven't been here too long but even I know what threads to completely ignore as they've been talked to death.

[i]that's[/i] what the favicon is?? A cropped piece of one of the derelict's arms? No offense, but that's terrible. BH should have a little contest to come up with a better favicon to while away the 47 days or so... winner gets a free t-shirt or something

An Ant-eater...yeah i know u used the correct spelling....but when i read it the first time it did not come out like that at all....in my mind it sounded very foreign..more like an-teater...lol....but anyway yeah a piece of the derelicts arm?....u right Jim that's pathetic!....u need alot of imagination to come up with that.......(THEY SHOULD GIVE OUT T-SHIRTS TO PEOPLE WHO CAN FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!)....i have done a couple of favicons.....they are real little bitches to design....whatever u choose has to be very neat and simple....and no please do not do it in paint invaderzim!...get yourself a decent program like adobe photoshop....they also need to be saved in a special format which i had to download...think it was called ICO...or something like that...anyway yeah lets submit something better...just neat and simple...but what?...that's always the biggest question in design!
