I'm really stuck thinking on what could be the most friendly way to represent "Blog" as icon. Google search led me here but it doesn't indicate a blog completely.
I have designed this:
but it doesn't look promising either. It more looks like writing on a sheet of paper. How do I make changes in this so as to look like writing on a "blog".
P.S.: I'm designing icons for a website where there are links for 'Wiki', 'Forum', 'Blog' etc and those links are supposed to be icons.
You could try with something like this:
My understanding was that there was one. A quick google search shows that it seems to bea bauhaus 'b' with similar waves coming off of it as the rss icon. The icon you designed looks almost positively like an edit button or a link to open some sort of form to fill out. Be careful using a pencil symbol, this sumbol's become pretty standard for edit icons of any size.
Felt the need to add this as it's pretty interesting and obviously relevant/answers your question: http://theblogicon.com/
I don't think there's any precedence aside from a variation of the RSS feed.
While using familiar, easily recognizable elements, you could try something simple and indicative of what a blog represents.
Here, I'm illustrating the idea that the blog is a way of communicating ideas. ("Talk about [you] ideas.")
Ask around you and try to think of what a blog means to yourself and other people. Try to do it without using words such as "the web/Internet," "online," or "journal/diary."
