We should upgrade the Wook from 2007 to 2013. Since favicons are still relevant, I have a suggestion to change the older icon, which features a symbol we do not even use anymore. For those who do not know what a favicon is, basically it is a website icon that appears in your browser. Here's ours: File:Favicon.ico. You may have seen it via tab, address bar, or bookmark.
Granted, it is not a big deal, but I find that it would make us look more cleaner, up-to-date, and professional. Our new favicon will feature the second Death Star with a transparent background, so it will look clean in various browsers.
See my proposed icon in action here: Compliments of Xd
If not that icon, then maybe something similiar to this: [1]
Any comments, concerns, questions can be addressed here. JangFett (Talk) 20:48, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but rejection due to bad grammar in proposal. :P Anyway, I like the new icon. MasterFred(Whatever) 20:54, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Per Fred, I'll choose a death star II over a Rebellion/Empire image :) Commander Code-8 G'day, mate 21:07, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

- Per above. Go for it! —MJ— Comlink 23:42, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Meh! -- Darth Culator (Talk) 23:58, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- What's more advanced about the new icon? It kind of looks dark and hard to decipher to me, but I'm all for updating if there's something technically outmoded about our current favicon. ~Savage 02:33, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Personally, I've tried shrinking down several variations of our Death Star logo before, and never been a big fan of how it looks at that scale. To me, the Rebel/Imperial combination is surprising clear even at small sizes. —Xwing328(Talk) 05:08, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- If we're taking the 'get with the times' approach, shouldn't we be going with the Ackbar meme? :D — DigiFluid(Whine here) 13:48, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- To be clearer: this isn't an issue I can bring myself to care much about. I wouldn't vote against it, but I doubt I could be arsed to vote for it, either. — DigiFluid(Whine here) 13:49, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Though I am still largely apathetic about the whole thing, I actually do see the wisdom of disposing of the archaic symbol we no longer use. However, I would prefer to replace it with the one with the tiny W, since our logo isn't just the Death Star. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 23:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
- I put up a version of that one as well. It does indeed look better with the W; however, it's a bit unsharp. I wonder if the W could be bolded or something to look better in the browser tab. 1358 (Talk) 23:47, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
- I completely agree with Culator here. The one with the W looks better as an icon file at the tiny size, and W represents Wookieepedia. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 04:19, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

- Seems like a no-brainer. I support it fully. Stake black msg 23:49, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed. I'm liking the looks of the new favicon.—Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 01:10, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
- That's better than the first one that was posted, yes. —Xwing328(Talk) 04:05, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
- Ecks, favicon cannot be good just by shrinking something that's made for larger scale. So yeah bit handtuning and "W" oughta be good (: – Tm_T@Wookieepedia:~$ 06:25, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, browsers aren't so good at resizing. Something like http://i.imgur.com/vuImtff.png could be better, though I don't currently have something installed that can spit out an ICO with an alpha channel. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 06:40, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
