Default Contest: Create LS1Tech's favicon.ico (and SSU, PT, HTM)

For those of you (like me) who use Firefox to surf, you may notice that your icon next to your bookmarked LS1Tech link is a boring sheet of paper.

Here's your chance to fix that.

Create an icon for LS1Tech and post it in this thread. The winner gets the distinction of saying "I made that".

Limitations are 16 pixels wide by 16 pixels high. That's pretty small. I assume you can create an icon from a bitmap, so you can use MS-Paint to make it, even... just set your attributes to 16x16 and zoom in to draw.

Not sure when the contest will end, maybe this weekend. No sense in dragging it out for long. I'll pester Brains until he makes it happen on the server.

Optionally, submit icons for PerformanceTrucks, SeatStaysUp, and HighTechMustang sites as well.

Have fun.

if you need it saved as a ICO file.. i can do that. just make a bitmap pic if you cant save icons (most programs cant) and i'll convert the winner if you need me to.

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 6.... both have icon editors, just depends on if im "working" on legacy code, or the newer stuff..

I vote for Snootch's icon. Overall, it looks the best, when you zoom in on it, he kinda captured the oval around the LS1 and the colors look good too.
