Favicon

[ovv]

Just noticed that on my installation paperless doesn't have a favicon. It might be a configuration error but I couldn't find any in the repo here.

It could be a nice addition, not sure if there is already an icon for the project ?

Sadly, Paperless doesn't have anything resembling a logo, so a favicon would be hard to come by until we have that.

So, if you've got ideas, or design talent, or a friend with design talent, I'm happy to entertain something pretty :-)

[ovv]

Sadly I don't have any design skill.I can order something on Fiver if that's ok with you and if nobody want to try it's hand at designing something.

Well if you're buying, who am I to say no? ;-)

One important note though: if you're going to commission a logo via Fiverr, the artist should understand that the logo will be released under the GPL. That is to say, if they make something and you buy it, they either (a) can't retain the copyright, or (b) they must allow their work to be licensed under the GPL.

Typically this is covered by Fiverr's terms, but those terms also say:

...Unless clearly stated otherwise on the seller's Gig page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the buyer is granted all intellectual property rights...

So TL;DR: if you're buying a logo, make sure you buy one where the artist is releasing all of their IP rights. I just don't want to put the project into a position where the original artist can claim infringement or something.

@ovv @danielquinn Order a logo? That's over-engineering lol ... How this, here's an extremely simple SVG image (copy/paste into chrome's URL bar):

Thanks @stgarf, but I wanted something a little "leafier" for this project so I fiddled with the fabulous tools on LogoJoy and came up with this one:

I've just added the logo to the project and rolled it out as a favicon as well.

• The source files can be found in the resources/ folder
• The favicon and web-friendly logos are in src/paperless/static/paperless/img/

I hope this does the trick :-)
