+ScroogieII Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Hmmmm! I prefer #3. It has more of a handle to it, a little more decorative. But what do I know of door knockers? Keith Quote
razalas Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I have tried to create an icon for the new category "Elevated Buildings", here are some attempts: What do you think? Edited July 8, 2021 by razalas 1 2 1 Quote
+PISA-caching Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I like 2 and 3, but my favorite is #2, next is #3 (but it slightly looks as a residential building to me). #4 doesn't represent "building" enough and the cross on #1 looks as if it was "flying between the building and the ground" - not enough pixels available for the cross) Quote
+FamilieFrohne Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I'd prefer #2. Clear lines that tell all that is needed. Quote
+pmaupin Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I think n ° 2 represents the category well, everything is in the icon Quote

OMG!!! I completely forgot about an icon for the category. I had made an icon for the group page, but never thought about the icon for the category! So THANKS, Pedro for going ahead and doing these. I will follow the crowd and go with #2. It's the clearest and most obvious "Elevated Building". So, is our Wayfroggie listening?!?!?! I'd love it if Pedro's #2 were to magically become the Elevated Buildings' icon. Hint, hint... ... Keith Quote

razalas Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) For the "Italian Cultural Heritage" I have created this two: I prefer the first one. Edited July 15, 2021 by razalas Correction Quote
+FamilieFrohne Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I like the second better. It looks more like the ones already used for cultural heritage in other countries and thus creates a better recognition. 1 Quote
+PISA-caching Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 I like both of them, but I think the category owner should have the last word. Quote

+bluesnote Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Been a few weeks since the WWI Sites category has been live. Think it's time for a new category icon, besides the default one. Similar to the WWII sites, I feel the category should have the same icon. But instead of "WW II" it should have "WWI" at the top of the monument. I also feel the WWI memorials/monuments category should also have this fix, from the default memorial/monument icon to differentiate it from others. Thoughts? Comments? Let's hear them! Quote
+bluesnote Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Only time I've seen them change was some time after a new category gets approved. When the generic icon becomes, in lack of better words, the more specific icon. I remember a few years ago, most of the historical marker categories got an overhaul in their icons and that occurred several years after these categories were approved. But other than this, I can't think of other times they were updated. But I would assume it's possible. Quote
+FamilieFrohne Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 10 hours ago, T0SHEA said: Can an existing grid icon be changed? The category icons are small gif images, stored on the webserver of Waymarking.com. Probably there has also some entry in the database to be changed to point to the new image. Assuming this as given, an exchange / extra image of the icon should be fairly easy for an administrator - perhaps he also has some administrative pages that will help to reduce the amount of work needed .... So the answer to the question would be yes - but I am pretty sure that a change of an icon is a thing that happens only once in a year or less ... and that it needs a good reason for an exchange.

+FamilieFrohne Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 I am no leader of a gategory, so I can't tell what possibilities are given for an edit of the category. But I think we are talking about the same thing. 7 hours ago, T0SHEA said: I can change a logo (icon) from the "Group Detail "page", if I am the group leader or have permission to edit the category. This would be the box marked wit a "1" in the image below. According to your explanation this one is changeable by you as the leader. 7 hours ago, T0SHEA said: As far as I am aware, a new "grid" icon is created and an admin is the only one who can insert it into the "grid" This would be the box marked with a "2" in the image below. This one can only be changed by the administrators (and that would answer your question "Can an existing grid icon be changed?" from the initial post with yes). I tried to express that in the post above - sorry for my bad writing skills. Quote

+BeayPepe Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Hello everyone! We are the ones who created the City Names in Giant Letters category. We have created an icon for this category. As I see in other icons, they have to be gif files with dimensions 32x32, so, I attach what we have done to see if it can be used for the icon. If I have to change it in any way, please let me know. Thanks!!! 1 2 Quote

razalas Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 With the resizing the image became blurred, unfortunatelyI can't improve it . I tried to create one following the usual design of the pixel art in the wm icons if you want to use it. Quote

+BeayPepe Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 If you want to zoom in, we have the same image with higher resolution. But, if the images have to be limited to 24x24 pixels, we see no need to zoom. Or, is there any place on the web where the icons look bigger? We think that in the 24x24 size it looks fine. Logically, when enlarged it looks worse. But, as we don't care, you can put the one you like the most... Thank you! When comparing icons, it is better to compare them in the size in which they will be seen on the web: Quote
+BeayPepe Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Zooming in on the new icon, it is also blurry Quote

+FLMathfreak Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) How can we get a unique icon for the Interactive Wing Display category? Is there someone who does these designs or does the category team have to come up with it? Would love to have a very colorful pair of wings with no body so it matches the category.
