Howzabout a more intuitive/simple idea for
all of the action icons?
Let's presume there are 5 action types: Standard, Move, Minor, Immediate, and Free in decreasing order of time necessary to perform the action. All that differs is the time necessary to perform the action, so what better way to denote them than with a clock!
Standard: "Stopwatch" icon with the face completely dark.
Move: "Stopwatch" icon with all but the upper-left quadrant of the face dark.
Minor: "Stopwatch" icon with only the right side of the face dark.
Immediate: "Stopwatch" icon with only the upper-right quadrant dark.
Free: "Stopwatch" icon with nothing dark.
Alternatively, you could just use a circle with pie pieces filled in if a stopwatch icon looks tacky or you're having difficulty finding one. I think this is far more intuitive and more immediately identifies how long the action you're doing takes. Not to detract from the excellent icons already presented for the various action types of course.
Whaddaya think?
