The world needs a Blog Icon

Friday, March 16th, 2007

At the OpenData conference, several companies related to blogs showed dashboards from their products or fancy diagrams. Blogs were represented visually as either the RSS/Atom icon:

Or by the Blogger icon:

Neither of which is really correct. RSS is merely a related concept, and the Blogger icon is the logo of a company. (Owned by Google, no less.)

For such a fundamental concept, it’s sad their is no visually standard way to represent blogs. We need a standard blog icon. Any designers out there want to take a stab at it?
