Fido Dog Badges (16 × 16, 32 × 32, 48 × 48, 64 × 64)

One picture is worth a hundred words, and moreover it gives an impression more quickly.

As you know, the talisman symbol (mascot) of the Fidonet Network is a lop-eared dog sitting with a floppy disk, which it carefully holds in its teeth. Its text (pseudo-graphic) image is found, for example, in the Fidonews Fidonews weekly, where it looks like this:

  __
                   / \
                  / | oo \
                 (_ | / _)
                  _` @ / _ \ _
                 |  |  \\\
                 |  (*) |  \)) 
    ______ | __U__ |  / \ //
   / FIDO \ _ // ||  _ \ /
  (________) (_ / (_ | (____ / 

')
It is also well known that Thomas Jennings, the creator of the network, drew her logo by hand:



A thought did not leave me for several years (I stated it both separately and in habrasorsing ) - the idea that it would be nice to make icons from this dog (16 × 16, 32 × 32, 48 × 48, 64 × 64 pixels) for used in the HTML tag <link rel = "shortcut icon" href = "..."> , and in Windows, and in other graphical interfaces.

I am pleased to announce today that DarkWood embodied this idea. I present to you the icons drawn by him, which, with his consent, will be distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license :

• 16 × 16 icon:
  
  
  
• 32 × 32 icon:
  
  
  
• 48 × 48 icon:
  
  
  
• 64 × 64 icon (option 1):
  
  
  
• 64 × 64 icon (option 2):
  
  

Black and white pixels, sharp contours, to the strict rectangular shapes. As you can see, DarkWood painted approximately in the style that was characteristic of Fidonet's contemporaries - the Apple Lisa operating system, which once became one of the first samples of a graphical user interface. Here is a Wikipedia screenshot for comparison:



Retro. Vintage. Exactly what was needed.
