Replaces the favicon with the di.uoa.gr mark plus an open book badge, for studying.

The mark keeps its original size but moves to the top of the icon, and the badge sits in the space this frees below its right half, so none of the letters are covered. The three course sites share the mark and differ only in the badge: a laptop for progintro.github.io, a conical flask for lab-material and an open book for study.

  • favicon.ico: 16, 32 and 48 px frames, built from the di.uoa.gr favicon.ico
  • apple-touch-icon.png: 180 px on white, built from the di.uoa.gr apple touch icon

The site had no favicon of its own; the link tags are added just below the SHARED END marker in _includes/head-custom.html, since they are specific to this site.

Opened from socrates.

The favicon is now the department's icon with a small open book in the bottom
right corner, for studying. The course site, the labs and the study guide each get
their own badge, so their tabs can be told apart.

favicon.ico carries 16, 32 and 48 px frames; apple-touch-icon.png is 180 px.
The badge covered the "it" of the mark. The mark now sits at the top of the
icon at its original size, and a smaller badge goes in the space that frees
up below its right half, so no letter is hidden. The book is redrawn with curved pages.

The 180 px apple-touch-icon also gets a margin around the mark and badge.
