  • How about one of those Icons in the address bar?

    How about adding one of those little icons that appear to the left of http://www.meguiarsonline.com in the address bar? The little 'e' on the sheet of paper for Explore is annoying.

    Something like Meguiars round logo or an M or what ever is easiest.

      I have one of those on my website. It is really easy to do. I second the motion.

        How about switching to a mac? No "e" to worry about.

                I created one but I can not see how to attach a file.

                    I was trying to use different Meguiars logos, I re-sized (smaller) with a program I have and each logo turned out rather blurry. Is that normal or did you just create one from scratch?

                      I used this logo . It is going to look fuzzy because you are resampling a file to fit in a 32 X 32 area at 72 dpi. There is not much room for detail. Mine came out to look like this and when it is being used I think it shrinks a bit too.

                        Makes sense... This was the Icon I was playing with but it just seemed to get blurry. Too much detail I guess.

                        The one above is 50 x 50 and seems to look good but much smaller and its blurry.

                          For this application you're looking at a very small image. A detailed logo just ain't gonna cut it so I'd recommend you isolate the scripted "M" in the classic Meguiar's logo and just use that. It will be recognizeable and fit the character of the site. My couple of pennies anyway.

                              That would be nice to have.
