New Category Icons


Recommended Posts

I like it.

 

Which one do you like more?

 

Is this too simple for the 'Current and Former Exchanges' category?

I prefer the one with the blueish flags, because they are different.

 

The Exchanges icon is nice, too. But I would prefer a lighter background color.

Sorry, I can't do more details. The 40x40 is a problem. I looked through the category grid. Almost all icons are in 24x24. Only about 120 icons are in 40x40 (The first is the Inside Airports. The problem is that if the 40x40 will be made smaller for the grid the quality gets worse. Yes, the small version is used often too. I'll check it up with Groundspeak if it isn't better to do only the 24x24. Everybody can proof that, create someting in 40x40 and resize the result to 24x24, you'll be amazed.

I like all the proposals, but Mill Stones can be 3D and Exchanges not so simple ... maybe like this?

or with blue screen / building in background? 02ba9969-e040-407a-a61d-cf6f0bd1a99a.gif

 

.. and amateur attempt for Mill Stones 3D: 5137987f-c8fe-4657-a0cb-bd6e696e0806.gif

 

Exchanges: Good! We'll see what fi67 will say, he is the leader.

 

Millstones: I think the millstone should be grey like a stone.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I like the new exchanges - either color.

 

I too, like the 3D effect of the millstone, but would prefer a color that would look more like an actual mill stone.

 

You all are doing some great work with these icons; it's nice to see such creativity!

Looks nice, but IMHO the connection to LEGO is not absolutely clear. It's a good minifig when you know it, but it could also be Waymarkman. :laughing:

 

Maybe just some bricks would be more obvious, and the category is looking for something larger than a minifig anyway, isn't it?

Tourist Stamps Photos: fccc5396-ff19-4558-ab7c-03e95e14b6ba.gif?rnd=0.2640039

 

I have special feelings to Tourist Stamps Photos :anicute: .. as they are like national sport for some people in Slovakia (and Czech Republic). I thought existing icon is fine, isn't it? Or at least it's theme. I drafted my idea quickly (big icon, 24x24 icon, existing icon):

Edit: Maybe explanation of slightly different style (shading of "wooden stamp") - it is much more difficult to draw circular shapes just using pixels without any shading. It always looks ragged. Thats why I used shading in the stamp. Angular forms are easier to draw in raw pixels.
