The post mentions Gravatar, so actually it should do the same thing and return a generated image as a function of the domain, if no known one exists.

It might be nice if that were an option, but having that as the default behaviour would be strange and unexpected IMO.

That's exactly what I thought. I told it to generate Google's logo and was then quite surprised when it actually produced Google's logo.

That would be an interesting extension to develop. I agree it should be optional.
I'm envisaging scraping colours and fonts from the target domain to recreate a text-only logo.

You could also use the first letter of the domain as the basis of the logo. (I do something a bit like that on faviconist.com)
