Last week, in addition to a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements, we rolled out a small but fun update to myEarthLink Reader. Many websites provide a small icon for your browser to display when you visit. We thought that would be a handy way to provide subtle visual differentiation when reading articles from different sources.

To show some of the variation found across sources, here are a few different ones that offer icons (with links to add them directly to your Reader source list):

The New York Times maintains its brand identity with the blackletter 'T'. Add this source

Sports Illustrated gets into the act on its numerous categories. This one happens to track their NFL coverage. Add this source

Engadget is the place to find that cutting edge gift for the gadget lover in your life (or to keep up with all the latest if you are the gadget lover in your life). Add this source

Get all the latest basketball scores directly from NBA.com. Add this source

Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner breathe continued life into their popular book, Freakonomics, in their blog, which challenges conventional wisdom about everyday life from an economist's viewpoint. Add this source

This icon is actually from our friends at FeedBurner, who provide articles from O'Reilly Radar and hundreds of other sources (including our own Earthling blog). Add this source

The Sartorialist documents fashion on the streets of New York, and like many other sites, publishes through Google's Blogger weblog platform, which is the reason for the big orange "B". Add this source

When we can't find an icon for a given website, we borrow this generic icon from our sister site, myEarthLink Favorites. Blogging Stocks is a useful weblog from AOL Money & Finance. Add this source
