OPML Icon

June 30, 2006 at 9:30 am · in Technology · Comments

OPML is great - and for feed organization, it’s equally awesome. Just about every news aggregator supports importing and exporting OPML, but there hasn’t yet emerged an OPML icon design that is equally as appealing as the “standard” feed icon set forth by Firefox and subsequently adopted by the industry. In working with information architects on TagJag, we decided to dedicate some cycles to designing an OPML icon for use on the site:

OPML Icon

Before you ask, I did float this past Dave (who didn’t like it much, but suggested I ask others what they thought of it). We’re certainly open to suggestions, but as it stands - this is the design we’re gonna use for linking to OPML files. It’s pretty much like the “standard” feed icon, but it’s… different. Check out OPMLIcons.com.

I kind of like the idea, the icon looks similar to the feed icon, and it should do the trick.

off. Wireless connectivity is a bit spotty so far. I’m somewhat having flashbacks to last year. :) Chris’s opening remarks: - It’s officially RSS Days (per the state of Washington) - TechMeme has been hacked! - bLaugh has launched - DoesOPML have an official icon?  I kinda like it. These posts will continually be updated (assuming that we have connectivity). Stay tuned. :)

Matt Mower - June 30, 2006 @ 4:12 pm

It’s pretty but it doesn’t say “outline” to me indeed, outlines being acyclic, it more or less says “this is not an outline.”

Christian Burns - June 30, 2006 @ 5:00 pm

I like it, by looking at it you know that it has something to do with RSS but is not RSS.

rboswell - June 30, 2006 @ 6:31 pm

I think it’s a great icon to use, it’s a different color and it’s a slightly different design, although it does have similarities. It’s different enough for the mass market to be able to tell the difference between the OPML icon and the standard feed icon, so it could work.

Feedonomics » Proposed OPML icon - July 4, 2006 @ 11:47 am

[…]  One of my goals for the next year is to help promote the use of “feed” as a generic term for streaming XML formatted data, without the qualifiers of RSS or OPML. This will help the general adoption of the concept. So when the standard RSS icon emerged as an alternative to the little RSS and XML icons, I jumped on it. Now Chris Pirillo has proposed a similar icon for OPML. I like it and hope it gains mass acceptance. We’ll probably try it out in a test version of Grazr and see what people think. Anything that strips away the excessive geekiness of OPML is a good thing. Filed under: General by Adam Green | […]

OPML icon idea at MarkChristian360 - July 4, 2006 @ 3:31 pm

[…] So I just came across a post by both Chris Prillo and Adam Green about a proposed icon to increase mind-share for OPML. And in my typical way of taking breaks, I thought I’d break out the old Illustrator and pixel something together. I make zero claim to know anything about OPML and in no way do I want to be “that guy” when it comes to crashing the party that the OPML Community is throwing, but at times I do enjoy analyzing various branding elements, graphic design, and symbology - and this just happened to pique my interest. I can see what is happening in the OPML industry from a distance, and I do honestly believe it is a very interesting and exciting space to watch. Hey, I’m also the guy who emailed Pixar to tell them they should merchandize the critters in the “For The Birds” animated short. What can I say. […]

Mark - July 4, 2006 @ 4:07 pm

I also found a similarity with theTargé logo, as well as a feeling it didn’t really convey the “outline” aspect. For what it’s worth, I slapped an idea together, having been inspired by the nice work of those IA guys and Chris.

raj - July 4, 2006 @ 6:28 pm

I love the actual icon, in terms of looks and colour, but it makes even less sense than the standard RSS icon. But then, it’s not an easy task coming up with a design for OPML - something even fewer people know about than RSS itself. So, from that perspective, it’s probably as good as any. Do I sound like I’m fencing sitting? I’m partial to an orange chicklet that says OPML.

Alex Williams - July 4, 2006 @ 6:40 pm

I love it. Can we mix it up with different colors? I’d like to do one for Podcast Hotel.

Stephen - July 5, 2006 @ 11:23 am

I have to agree that the OPML community has an icon already and Kosso has done a great deal on this. Maybe a graphic designer could ’shape’ the surrounding texture of the current layout surrounding of the OPML shaped ‘O’ of the logo, though I believe the shape of the ‘O’ in the current logo which Tom links to above is fantastic, different and unique and as stated above does not look like the ‘Target’ logo of a common commercial enterprise that we all know of bar the blue vs red color change.

The previous list of suggested OPML icons that Dave asked about a fair amount of time ago had some great icons and this is where we ended up.

It’s certainly interesting, and I like how it matches the “official” icon. Yet when did that icon become the “official” one, though, anyway?

I also like the red homegrown one associate with the OPML Editor, as I’ve come to associate the color red with OPML (due to the OPML Editor, most likely, and OPML.org). Has that homemade feel to it, which can be good.

The conference itself was covered by The Seattle Post Intelligencer, but the products that debuted at Gnomedex have been reviewed by not only the conference attendees but they have also been Digg’ed, Slashdotted, blogged about by tech community at large.There have been several positive discussions that began at the conference and have continued into the blogging world. One such topic which Christopher (Tse) and I are involved closely with is the OPML icon design. Read up on the debate about the various OPML designs at Chris Pirillo’s blog. In the next week, we will be helping launch a new site that will bring this discussion to the masses and perhaps build upon Dave Winer’s OPML.org campaign.OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is fast becoming a standard for exchanging and managing lists of RSS feeds. You can "Share Your OPML" with the official OPML site at http://share.opml.org.Being the Mozilla Firefox supporters that we are, it would only be proper for us to help support the cause by promoting an OPML extension for Firefox. OPML support for Mozilla Firefox adds OPML import/export features to the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.Stay tuned the conversation is about to heat up.

Where RSS Meets Media » Blog Archive » I Heart OPML - August 24, 2006 @ 11:27 pm

[…] The icons you see here are for OPML and RSS, courtesy of Chris Pirillo. The RSS icon on the right, which we play on in our logo, is quickly establishing as the standard symbol for RSS. Chris developed the blue icon for OPML, which you see here. It works. An icon does a lot for a movement. And I’m a big time believer in OPML, which looks to be growing in acceptance with each passing day. What is OPML anyways? It’s an outlining method for creating and organizing groups of RSS feeds. For instance, if I have a few hundred RSS feeds, I can export them as a file and post them or email to someone. I can set up a news reader and import the OPML file. OPML proves handy when setting up a news reader for someone who is new to the world of blogs and such. Once the file is imported into the news reader, it’s all there for them! RSS feeds galore! We did this recently for a client. They loved it. Why? They had a river of news before them delivered via RSS. After they grocked what this river of news meant, we then showed them how to susbcribe to an RSS feed. Ever see the look in someone’s eye when they have just discovered something that will forever alter the way they get news and pertinent information? It’s a great feeling to teach people about RSS and handy mechanisms like OPML. It’s what I love about my work. […]
