This post provides a bit of link love around the design blogosphere. Don’t forget to check out the last item in the list, which talks about our new free blog logo campaign. The campaign runs for a limited time and is open to qualifying established blogs.

1. Color theory.
   Don’t know Chartreuse from Charcoal? ColourLovers offers a handy reference, 32+ common color names [via Digg], with many provided by commenters. But if you just want to go green, check out their 130+ green color palettes.
2. Favicons.
   Favicons (fave-icons) are those 16×16 pixel images that you see in certain browsers in the address bar. (Not all browsers support them yet.) They’re a sort of micro-brand, and in browsers such as Firefox which have multiple tabs, it’s easier to find a particular site amongst the tabs (if you have several open).

   Don’t know how to create a favicon? No problem. If you have an image/ logo/ picture that will scale down well to around 16×16, then you can use pretty much any of the 20 best favicon online generators.

3. Stock photos.
   Hongkiat lists over 30 websites offering stock photos and royalty-free images. Some of the services offer completely free photos. Others offer low-cost images for a one-time fee (i.e., royalty-free).
4. Best typeface forward.
   Smashing Magazine presents a snapshot of 80 different typefaces for design. Many of these will work fine for online design that’s turned into graphical form, but not necessarily as actual text fonts on a web page.
5. Free logos.
   If you have a blog that’s at least a year old and is about any of design, small business, marketing, SEO, blogging, freelance, productivity or something closely related to these, you might qualify for Logo Design Work‘s free blog logo campaign. We’re giving away 10 free blog logos each month, for a limited time, to qualifying blogs.

   Please read the rules to see if you qualify. Then fill out the brief questionnaire to give our designers some info about your likes and dislikes.
