Here's a screenshot from my browser tab bar:
As you can see, Backbone, Knockout, Chai, etc. all have their own unique web icons, but Sinon (second from the right) does not. Surely a library as wonderful as Sinon deserves to be a first class web citizen with its own unique icon?

Absolutely agree, but without intending to hurt anyone's feelings, I am quite confident that most of the maintainers skills are lacking in the design department. Maybe we could have a little logo design compo?

FYI:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Sinon
from Sinon, a relative of Odysseus described in the Aeneid (epic poem by Vergil †19 b.c. Roman poet) as the Greek who by a false tale induced the Trojans to drag the wooden horse into Troy, from Latin, from Greek Sinōn
I'm thinking a wooden pony?

Ooooh, I always wondered about that name. Clever naming, @cjohansen :-) I really like the suggestion, but this is definitively not my call.

If someone comes up with a nice little wooden pony favicon, I'd be all for it!

A while back, I recruited a friend to work with me on a new site ... he created some artwork.

On the new site for Sinon.JS, I meant to say

That artwork is great! I whipped up two favicons based on the green image (the first one includes the whole image, while the second zooms in on the face). Both are 16x16, which is a little conservative, but I imagine the Sinon site would still want to support IE9. If not I could make higher resolution (32x32) versions instead.
I'm no graphic artist though, so I would welcome any feedback.
The relevant HTML (assuming a favicon URL of sinon.com/images/favicon.png) would be:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://sinon.com/images/favicon.png">
I hope it's fine for everyone that I added the same logo to the Sinon.js org page 🎈
