BiNS iPhone icon, originally uploaded by bounder.

As soon as I found out you could add a custom iPhone icon to a website it was inevitable that I’d do a BiNS one. Immediately. And then blog about it. Seriously it was all of five minutes ago I found out.

Those with iPhones (or touches), save BiNS as a Home screen bookmark – and Brasso the Bull will appear there for you too.

(If you want to make one for your own site have a look here.)

    That’s clever. I’ve put one on my imaginary iPhone.

    While we’re on the topic of icons, have you come across any hoo-ha from the bull’s “owners” about use of likeness? I think it’s only a matter of time before the corporation decides that someone has overstepped the mark* and attempts to reclaim the representations for its own purposes.

    *Someone will make a stuffed toy version that speaks when you pull a cord, or someone will adorn an image with a hot heap of manure.

    Never had any contact with whoever owns Brasso – I guess that it’s the evil overlords that don’t allow photography in the Bull Ring.

    Buildings I know there’s no intellectual property rights attached to photos of them, with a statue there’s the artist’s copyright. I’d say that ‘public art’ was fair game.

    I’m still keeping my head down tho’ – mind you if they sued me for all the money I’d made out of BiNS they’d owe me money ;)
