Hope you guys like the new favicon , I spent hours creating it ( just kidding , I downloaded it in less than a minute 
). While I didn't have a problem with my old favicon other than me nobody else really understood what it is , it is a .ico file created from my Entrecard image and you had to have very sharp eyes to figure out its an elephant. I always wanted to have an animated favicon but since I'm not that good at editing images and stuff I always put it off as something to do later. Well my favorite site to create a favicon has come up with another great solution to that problem as well. Now you can download your very own animated favicon from there animated favicon gallery. There are more than 15,000 favicons so you wouldn't have much trouble finding a one to your liking. They are free for personal use but if you are using it in your business blog or website you need to pay a one time license fee of 5$. Try as I might I couldn't find a link where they offer custom made favicons. I think its logical they offer a service like that and they can earn some money while doing what they do best.

It’s really cool! I’ve been to sites where I believe the favicon had looked too distrcting. But this is classic. Well done!
Hi Nishadha,
Great work! Can I give a suggestion? You could use the elephants and let them walk in your favicon. I most cases you will just see an elephant (or the background), but sometimes, the elephant walk in.
As I was searching for animated favicons I came on your site. I have just launched a concept with animated favicons. I’ve created six animated favicons (different favicons for different tabs/ares), integrated with my (own) personal brand strategy. That implies that my face is shown, including attributes. On opening a page (or bookmarks) they are standing still, actually 80% of the time. After a little while, a sometimes funny, movie is played in the favicon.
Here’s the site and a posting with lots of background info:

For the next step I consider let the favicon ‘play’ with the title or starting a sound. That would be great. But it should all be very subtle, as lots of animated favicons will soon irritate.
I’m interested in what you think! And what will be your next step
@Erwin,
Nice concept , Doing too much with the favicon can also become a distraction so be careful with modifying it too much. But I guess you will never know until you try something out.
As a side note I think in your blog posts I think its better to name the reaction link as comments. Most people look for the comments link when they are trying to leave a comment. Reaction section usually lists down the posts that have linked to your blog post.
