I also finished all the icons from 41x41pixel to 24x24pixel and sent them to Waywizard. Now I will finish the states. If there are some other icons we should improve let me know. Waychapels as example have the same church icon like many other churches.

Ummm, well, since you asked...

 

Hold on, let me put on my OCD hat:

 

Once you're finished with the states, you might consider doing the same with the Canadian Provincial Historical Markers. Currently, they all appear to use the Canadian maple leaf flag. While it is appropriate, it is also quite generic. It might be more descriptive for the Canadian Provinces to have their own flag in the icon. Just a suggestion, if you're up to it.

 

OK, now I'll put on my OCD glasses, as well.

 

Actually, there are a group of category icons that bug me. OK, not the categories, just the icons.

 

I'm talking about the Bookcrossing Zones, Wikipedia Entries, Literary Sites, & Guest Books icons. They all use the exact same icon. Even if each used the same graphic of the book, but were different colors, that would be better. However, I do have a few suggestions.

 

Maybe for the guest books, we could do something like this. Not exactly that, but something similar - open book, with a pen.

 

Maybe the Literary Sites could have a book or books with a quill pen across it, similar to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places icon, but with a book and maybe a different colored pen.

 

Maybe you could take a crack at replicating the Wikipedia (puzzle ball) icon on the Wikipedia website, in the upper left corner of the page. Of course your work space might be too small to pull that off. Maybe there is another icon on the website that would be suitable.

 

Maybe the Bookcrossing Zones icon could be like the Crossing Sign icon that is on the BookCrossing website.

 

I'm sure someone has better ideas on providing icons that will make these icons unique and appropriate for the individual categories.

 

Well, I'm starting to feel a little too comfortable in my OCD hat and OCD glasses. I'm going to have to take them off now.

 

Thanks for listening!

My Buddhist temple category actually has a Shinto temple as its icon. An icon with the Buddha might be nicer instead.

 

Also my Monuments Historiques category has a generic French flag icon. Would be nice to change this to the symbol used by the agency (see the category long description for an example)

 

Nice that someone is paying closer attention to this.

Monuments Historiques - was waiting for Rakeinthecache to say that is what he wanted

Spanish Heritage - That one shows updated in Lumbricus's grid

Framed view - Also shows updated on grid

Coins - that one kind of snuck in on me as I had done an upload earlier on that category. I will update with the newer one.

Tourist marks - Also showing updated on the grid.

The old wizard's eyes were not picking up on the subtle differences. Thanks for letting me know... they have all been updated.

It's what you meant?

 

Sorry for the delay in responding, yes you picked the right icon. Definitely an improvement although the round "towers" on the sides could be a bit more pronounced. Thanks for the taking the time to update this icon!

HELP! The Free Community Book Exchanges category is in need of an icon. I'd like it to be clean and crisp and not a shrunk down image. I like the quality of the Insect Hotels icon.

 

Anyone want to create one and post it here? I'm embarrassed saying this because I'm a graphic artist but changed jobs and don't have the software nor the time to mess around with creating one.

 

Thanks!

I'M STILL NEEDING ICONS FOR MY TWO CATEGORIES: Free Community Book Exchanges and Dated Architectural Structures Multifarious... Anybody interested in creating a couple of cool icons for these?

 

Thanks!

 

:)

 

No response .. let me try:

what do you think?

honestly of course :anibad:

any suggestions?

 

I love them! Perfect! Now how do we get these as category icons? I also need an icon for the new Feed the Animals category. Want to try this one too?

...Ok, let me host them on geocaching server:

They are good, I would change the colour of the "Book exchange" icon a little bit. The green is too loud, the colours should fit to the existing icons. Well done! :grin:

Okay, feel free to finetune them as you wish .. thank you! :rolleyes:

Maybe someone, who is handy with icons, can take a look at this example for our Rijksmonumenten - Dutch National Monuments group.

 

This is the new official sign, created in 2014 by the Dutch government for the Dutch National Monuments.

It's an Off-white plate with orange corner.

 

Grtz & Thx John.

Hi dreamhummie.

I'm no expert in pixel design but I decided to try and this was what I have achieved:

Very nice razalas, thanks. :lol::laughing:

I like the bricks on the side also, very very good.

Is it possible that the black text may be a bit higher,

and the orange patch look more like triangle?

 

I tried it with paint but messed it up.

Greetings and thanks.

John.

 

I tried to make the changes you suggested:

I have been trying to create some icons that are missing in the new categories, and here they are:

 

Graves of Unusual Deaths

Draw Wells

or

cd5e31e7-df9b-4e05-9a25-cdc0d64a3604.gif An alternative version.

 

Feeding the Animals

c3e32311-d42b-4367-b8fe-ee5c2e147b38.gif A few posts ago lumbricus suggested to use the icon of the Petting Farms and Zoos category, I tried to create another so the category have a unique icon.

 

Historic Transformer Sub-Stations Buildings

or

880c7b52-df7b-455f-8c09-6155c41f635d.gif An alternative version.

 

What do you think of the icons (or the alternative versions)? :)

Great ones! All of them!

 

I prefer the second version of the transformer station icons.

 

For draw wells I like the first one more, but maybe that is geographically biased, they look more like that where I live.

 

I am unsure for UNESCO. The first one fits better to all the rest of the icons, but it is not clear that it is about biospheres and not heritage sites. The second one is clearer in this respect, but the style is a bit different.
