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)

I like nummer 2, but the color in nummer 3 :-)

OMG!!!

I completely forgot about an icon for the category.  I had made an icon 4de97e1e-51f1-4dab-8e4f-c75a04bdc292_a.j 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... ...

I would choose the second too. 

I'm glad you liked it, thanks.

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!

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.

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.

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.

 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.

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.

The independant breakfast spots category has a yummy pancake icon that I would gladly use for the newest category 'pancake and crepe restaurants'. Could this be arranged please?

 

@wayfrog

Please post it here.

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!!!

24 x 24 is the size we need. Maybe @razalas can help.

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.

If prefer this one, the pixel art has to fit with the other icons back to the beginning. If you zoom into the small icons they stay clear.

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:

Our resident genius, Erik, has come up with an icon for the Bat Boxes category which we think would be purrrrfect for the category.

Wayfroggie, if this one meets with your approval, could you please do the magic that you do so well, and make it so?

I know you're one busy guy Wayfroggie, but I see that the Bat Boxes category has not yet been blessed with Erik's (well done) Icon submission, so I reiterate.

Could you, pretty please, make it happen?

Thank You, The Scrooge

@wayfrog: The category is now nearly two month active. May we repeat our request to exchange the icon?

 

Thanks a lot, Erik.

In the hope that it might move things along, I'm quoting your post, Erik.

 

Wayfroggie of ours, could we Please, Please, have that Icon added to the Bat Boxes category?

Thank You - The Scrooge

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.
