A bookmark icon to represent doom9

I'm hoping to appeal to doom9 visitors that use browsers (like Mozilla) capable of displaying an icon next to the doom9 bookmark within your browser. Many sites have the following in the head of their index page:

Code:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.site.domain/favicon.ico" type="image/ico">

Checkout slashdot's icon for an example.

It wouldn't be too tough to find a suitable icon to represent doom9 would it? Consider: the dimensions need only be 16x16 pixels. We're not talking an official representation of what doom9.org advocates, just a simple, attractive icon...

...though, this could easily bud into a hopeful reincarnation of that "logo contest" that died a few years ago. And although it'd be nice if doom9 finally had an "official" icon, that might be asking too much.

Actually, if you just put in icon named favicon.ico at
domain/favicon.ico
browsers will automatically look for it and add it. There is no need to even add the HTML to your pages.
