EN World Icons (@Russ)

Still loving these, weem! BTW, you're now a Silver Subscriber!

If you ever get the urge to do more, I'd suggest the social networking tags under the usernames (Yahoo, Twitter, AIM, etc.) which look like they weren't designed for a black background.

Only one suggestion... I think the green checkmark might be a little hard to see on first glance. Maybe position it to be partially outside of the stylized EN World globe?

Hey weem! Nice looking icons. They're not as easy to visually disambiguate as the old ones, though. Here's how we can fix that:

- Make the checkbox (and all other add-on symbols) violate the base icon's border.

I suggest you put the checkbox on the upper-right corner instead of in the middle. It can stay there through all permutations; put the other add-on symbols in the other corners.

- Lock in the lower-right corner (where it is now).

- "Moved" arrow in the upper or lower left corner.

- "Hot" fire-drop in the other left corner. I dunno, I don't actually care about "hot" threads, but maybe someone else does.

The check mark for "you've posted in this thread" shouldn't be that light color green as it blends in too much with the blue and green d20. The light green works on the brown version quite nicely though

I might try a bright yellow or red...

I've always loved weem's graphics work, so it's nice to see his style becoming more and more an integral part of EN World's public face.

Thanks weem!

Ditto to this. The check needs to extend outside the globe to make it more visible. The same should also be done with the lock for closed threads, if possible.

Also, you seem to be missing an icon for a thread moved to a different forum. I'll preemptively ask that when/if you make one to make the arrow extent slightly outside the globe, too.

Count me as another who finds the new icons attractive but not as clear as the ones they're replacing.

Perhaps the check mark could be red, which would contrast with either the brown or the blue/green?

Or the "hot" topic could be denoted by a firey halo around the die?

Yeah, the check box could be a little more prominent.

I love the "firey halo" idea.

Weem, they're fine as they are. Only change 'em if you really have nothing else to do.

That goes without saying.
