Martha Galore
November 12, 2007
I have complicated feelings about Martha Stewart. On the one hand, I admire her aesthetic. The design of Martha Stewart Living has inspired me for years, and that’s just the tip of her design iceberg. On the other hand, she is a little creepy, in a world domination kind of way.
Imagine my reaction then, to see this army of little Martha favorite icons peering at me from my browser tabs. (You may have to click on the image to enlarge and get the full domestic dominatrix flavor.)
Creepy, isn’t it? Most people with a favicon on their site use their logo, or some part of it. I can’t remember ever seeing a face as a favorite icon before. This speaks volumes about the empire that is Martha Stewart — it’s really all about her. It’s amazing that the whole jail term episode didn’t drive her right out of business. Kudos to her company for keeping the brand alive while its face was behind bars.
If you’d like to make a favorite icon for your own site, visit Dynamic Drive for an online favicon generator, as well as instructions on how to add it to your site. Think twice about using your face.
