All your icons are great, so so much thank you for that. Only this one looks so "simple" - do you think you could add some "3D effect" - like that it's really millstone, not just circle? I even feel bad to say so, cause of your effort, but just have to :D

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.

And I'm not sure about these because they are a little bit too simple...

 

Okay, but in category grid, the icons are really very small and tiny. So I think, "simple" is perhaps "more clearly" and better to realize. ;)

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

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!

I like both Exchange icons, mybe the colored one a bit more.

 

And the shape of the millstone is great, but not so the color.

Thank you all for feedback, I tried my best:

 

Simple gray 3D: 7190efd7-d816-42fe-bd71-4a07a5d3befa.gif or "rough WM classic" 4b375b71-2178-4508-b7a9-df10dcfc9a84.gif

 

... or differently, anyhow ... please, suggest. :smile:

..."rough WM classic" 4b375b71-2178-4508-b7a9-df10dcfc9a84.gif...

 

Perfect!

 

Wow, exactly what i were dreaming about :) More and more such icons...

 

+ your salt pans and framed views are great too :)

You are working hard ;)

 

Nice the new icons, thank you :D

 

Agree, they look profi. I have no other idea on my mind, so Lumbricus keep drawing :anibad:

 

I will, on Monday. Nice that you like them, I know they are not super good, but better than nothing at the moment. :grin:

Yes I missed good icons for those two categories since years. But I would prefer a sphinx seen from its side not a front view.

 

I really like the classic style icons made by lumbricus.

 

Thanks.

I tried a sphinx from the side view, but I couldn't do it well. It looked too bad.

LEGO Sculptures and Models: e8000796-0135-4250-9c55-1d999c289d49.gif?rnd=0.2625849

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.
