my-favicons

Hand-coded SVG favicons that comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and mostly comply with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition) (see note below). Each subdirectory is dedicated to one favicon with a README and any derivitives.

NOTE: SVG 1.1 does not support WAI-ARIA attributes on SVG elements. However, the SVG 2 draft does. They also work in modern browsers, as does the SVG 2 specification of Conforming SVG Stand-Alone Files. In these two ways these SVG favicons do not completely validate against the SVG 1.1 W3C recommendation.

What the project does

This repository contains favicons that I have created using hand-crafted SVG, the way SVG was intended to be used, sometimes derivitives in other graphics formats, and a README describing what each file is and what it is for.

Why the project is useful

Although the various favicon designs are probably not widely applicable to others, the techniques I applied in creating them may be useful to others. Certainly the proper use of favicons will improve the performance and user friendliness of any website or webapp.

How users can get started with the project

Improve yourself. Borrow the code. Read the commented SVG code. Understand the code. Improve it where you can and submit a Pull Request, so I can improve myself.

Where users can get help with your project

This repository contains one subdirectory per favicon. Each one should contain a README specific to that particular favicon.

Who maintains and contributes to the project

So far this has been an individual and personal effort. If you have ideas on how to make this more benficial to a broader audience, please contact me.
