You should put a favicon.ico file in your root directory so when people bookmark Overlawyered they’ll see the icon next to their bookmark (or tab if they open the site in a tab).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
If you do that I’ll be able to remove the text description from the link to your site, and my favorites toolbar will achieve unity of style. Thanks in advance
Okay, graphics-savvy or web-savvy readers: anyone want to devise and send us such an icon?

How about a pair of gavels
hitting a single base, one from each side?
I’m not much of an artist and this may not be an original idea but how about showing someone or something (like FAIRNESS) being crushed under a banging gavel? Might be hard to get that in a tiny icon, though.
A single red gavel on a black background will do it.
Or, if you’re feeling arty, a red gavel, with a black outline, over a blue background.
The favicons are too small to include a dollar sign, alas….
Well, I made a simple one, just a gavel and base, which would be easy to identify. http://www.desiload.com/download.php?file=98a6b3f8892610d7128a582ec71b0a1f
I suggest a $100 bill with wings on it.
Just gave Jim’s offering a try and it looks good. Thanks! Jim’s Scripted Failures blog, by the way, is here.
How about a maul?
Or a tiny, empty wallet.
