user-1: Can we have a nice favicon for our stack instead of BU, like the Christianity or Hinduism stack... I propose the dhamma wheel as a favicon.

user13249: Yes please. I like the dhamma wheel as a favicon. "Unicode Symbol: ☸ (U+2638: Wheel Of Dharma) Simple and reproducible. (Y)

user471: Here are some designs for evaluation and comments by the moderators and the community. They are based on "Unicode Symbol: ☸ (U+2638: Wheel Of Dharma)".
I post them here as square PNG images for ICO conversion using this website for example, or GIMP.

user254: How can we change the favicon of SE site in Beta? suggests that yes, this may be possible!
I think it's a good idea -- so I upvoted your question, and I invite other people to upvote it too.
A favicon is a 32x32 icon. Here's the icon from Hinduism.SE:

That's not too small for a recognizable Dharmachakra, for example:


I made the above image, by:

Copying "Unicode Symbol: ☸ (U+2638: Wheel Of Dharma)" from Dharmachakra -- Symbol
Pasting it (using a suitable font size like 22 or 26, and a default font family like Consolas).

Or perhaps (unless there's a reason to stay with blue) an appropriate color would be orange (or 'saffron') e.g. as suggested here and here.

The correct way to do this is to create a meta post (on Hinduism Meta, not the main meta) with the tag feature-request. Stack Exchange employees monitor that tag across all meta sites in the network. You should get an answer from them in due course, though it may take six to eight weeks before you get an answer, and then another arbitrary amount of time before anything is actually done.


P.S.: Different Stack Exchange sites have the same logo says it's important (for usability) that sites have dissimilar favicons.
The current "Bu" icon is similar to "B", "BH", "BI", "BC", and "BG" icons used by other sites.
