iPhone/iPod Touch Typophile Icon?
I was wondering if our goodly Typophile (web)masters would be willing to add a custom Typophile icon to the website, so when those of us with iPhones/iPod make home screen bookmarks for the site, we’d get the cool Typophile T instead of a tiny white box with specks on it (it automatically uses an image of the webpage if no icon is present.
It’s very simple: you just drop a .PNG on your site in the prescribed way (see linked instructions for details) and the iPhone/Touch will pick it up, round the corners and add that shiny look automatically for anyone who adds it to their home screen (which I have).
As a designer, I am pained at the lack of a swank Tyophile badge on my home screen, and would be grateful to those empowered to make one available.
Thanks!

Very nice. The other icons on my Touch are jealous already.
