Well, you forgot the 2 hour meeting to get approval of everyone involved, then the changes needed after the team weighed in, another meeting for final approval (assuming there was only one round of revisions - this is government here) and then actual implementation. You also forgot the time it took the designer to come up with the original concept - you can't just sit down and produce a production-ready favicon without knowing what it is you're drawing.
So, lets call it 10 hours, roughly? So 58.50/hr...
- larrik 16y agoSeriously, the icon design wasn't a foregone conclusion. It could have NOT had the inverted colors. Or just had the I. Or something completely different. Plus, it wasn't an internal project. It was outsourced. That can cut productivity quite a bit.

- alexqgb 16y agoBingo. And there's no mention of the half dozen favicons the designer had to come up with in order to get one through all the layers of approval involved.
- axiom 16y agoI dunno, if a company we hired on contract pulled shit like that we'd fire their ass exactly 3 minutes after the first invoice arrived (and of course we would require weekly invoices with written notice if there was deviation from the original budget.) The UK government has no such contraints of course.
