I get faster with each one

Some are harder some are easier.

Please, could I ask you for one thing? I'm really in love with your new icons, so could I ask you to clean and improve icons of (in meaning of Waymarking style and cleaning the icons because of process of making it from another picture format to gif, what made icons not clear)

- Grand Opening

- Political Revolutions

- human migration monuments

and your previous simple ones

- Pillars

- framed views (there was great icon from Rikitan at previous page, so you could combine it)

 

+ spanish heritage in style of another heritage icons?

 

Could we somehow support you in your job? Help you?

 

Thanks again for everything.... (+ yes I'm just not asking, I were trying to do it myself, but it was again disaster, so I believe in you...)

I was looking through the icon collection and found a different pillar icon. Would this one be better:

Spanish heritage icon is already in the style of another heritage, the inspiration for it was an old icon of an heritage category.

I really like it, and as leader would appreciate that it remain the same.

Regarding the others that i am the leader (Grand Opening and human migration monuments) do as you please.

[razalas]

In my opinion we should keep the original icons, I know they are different but they have the style of the artist who created them.

Also think that we are forgetting that the icons are not only used on the grid, and so this icons compared with the other style even with the "grey Waymark" shape have much more quality (when I say quality I'm not referring to the artistic work but to the number of pixels) as you can see in the images below.

 

Fact is, that icons are displayed on some page with 24x24 resolution (lists - results of searches, statistics, the grid, ... ) and some pages allow higher resolution - 41x41px (your examples - waymark listing, groups, ... ).

It's true that 24x24px icons are much simplier and look quite obsolete on todays' web, but IMHO it's still better choice than 41x41. Because 24x24 looks everywhere the same, however 41x41 is blurry when autoresized to 24x24. In addition, waste majority of icons is created in resolution 24x24 from very beginning, as Lumbricus explained earlier.

 

I understand that point of view, it's just that was already so used to those icons

That said, I think Lumbricus is doing a great job in converting that icons to 24x24, tahnk you.

ok

 

 

and

 

 

Easy, style, Waymarking? What are you saying?

[+puczmeloun]

Razalas?

 

or ? No?

[razalas]

Razalas?

 

or ? No?

 

I really prefer this one which was based on the Canadian National Historic Sites

 

This one to me represents the Historical markers categories, perhaps one day we have a Spanish Historical markers category and we use this one

Ok

 

Looks good, i really like the black frame around it.

[razalas]

I saw now that the category French historical markers has this icon and the Monuments Historiques Français category has the same icon

 

I think that the category French historical markers is ok with this icon but maybe the Monuments Historiques Français would look better with a different icon such as the flag or the symbol of the Monuments Historiques .

What you think? Perhaps RakeInTheCache the leader can decide

[+puczmeloun]

24x24 clean version

 

political revolutions looks fine

 

numismatics?

 

(hope lumbricus or somebody make it more 3D)

[+puczmeloun]

Ok make it all together:

 

- 3D map models

- grand opening

- numismatics - (hope lumbricus or somebody make it more 3D)

- pillars

- framed views

- human migration

- spanish heritage

-french monuments or

I'm fine, but I would work a little bit on this one.

 

I made it a little bit broader at the bottom, and in this case without clouds, looks better (m.o.)

24x24 clean version...

 

I can't read the text, I tried to fix it, but's almost impossible to write "Grand Opening" in a 24x24pixel space.

So what to do?

[+lumbricus]

......

 

Looks good, but as the leader of the "Framed Views" category I would like to let the one I did. But if more people would like to see yours, I'm fine with it.

 

I did it with the "old heaven" perhaps that's better?

 

[+lumbricus]

...So what to do?

 

We have to think about another idea, perhaps a scissor and a ribbon?

[+lumbricus]

...Monuments Historiques Français would look better with a different icon such as...the symbol of the Monuments Historiques ....

 

The symbol looks good, I think that would work.

[+lumbricus]

...- human migration ...

 

I like the idea and well done! I worked a little bit on your icon, hope that's okay?

okay what im thinking about is that this tree with branches (by my opinion) could be more artistic as your later icons + moved one pixel left to not collide with one hand of frame

 

that human migration is better now, thanks

Okay, this is much better than a simple coin, I'll soften it little bit. I wanted to sync the shade of this blue sky with other icons anyway.

[+Rikitan]

 

numismatics?

 

(hope lumbricus or somebody make it more 3D)

 

As leader of the category I give you a YEA!

 

Perfect .. I hope this looks more "coiny" now:

(together with Tourist Stamps icon with "fixed" bluesky, hope it can be switched with existing one)

Nice!

Also nice, let's wait what the other Waymarkers think.

Rikitan created a fantastic icon to the Cableways Category, Thanks

 

 

What do you think?

so anyone can try to refine it, if you like to

I like both. If undecided, try to ask leader of category.

OK - grand opening

minimal changes:

 

The icon is great, I changed a few small things but I'm not sure if it's now better?

All three would work, although, I do like the third one best. I realize it's hard at this scale, but is there a way to get a hint of scissors in the third graphic?

I like the original one. Maybe someone can create it with clear and readable writing.

 

I would agree with Tante Hossi. If the first one could be made more readable, it would be the best choice. After all, the point of the category is to waymark grand opening plaques and monuments. This would be more representative of the category.

 

What do the group officers think?

[+puczmeloun]

As officer I like the first one, but even me and lumbricus couldn't made it more readable. So feel free to try...

[razalas]

Yes, I also prefer the first one, let's see if we can create something more readable.

[razalas]

I tried to create one in the style of other icons related to plaques, what do you think?
