dang, this was hard :D

trying to match the theme with colours while being restrained by the height..
not to mention that it has to look good and make sense at the same time :)

Here's another icon: Image

It sure shows I'm a newbie. zaufany's icons looks great..
Dont quite like the green and sharp blue, but as its supposed to stand out it doesnt matter :)

size should be the same as for the watched/unwatched/recap and mylist status icons (it will be displayed beside them).
Is it really meant for the "action"-column? A new-icon seems to fit best in the"x"-column...

well,

check the page of an anime for which new files have been added (pic any from the latest files page). You'll see that eexclamation mark icon which was posted by yidaki.
I don't think it's bad but i guess it can still be improved as it doesn't really provide any association with new, then again, maybe it does. no idea :P

well,

nothing i can do about it.

btw. we might need new icons for the not yet voted and not yet reviewed notifications in mylist too.
although as it looks now it will rather be a not yet voted and an already reviewed pic.

First I made this one: Image
But then I noticed there might not be room for it.
So I made this one aswell: Image

(In case you dont see it, the second one is an angry asian d00d that has it in for you because you havent voted)

Some more image suggestions... :)

For the not-voted icon or whatever, one of these might look nice. They're all very alike but with minor differences. Since I couldn't decide which I like best, I leave it up to you. :P
Image Image Image

For the new files icon, I came up with this one... in the second image, the star is one pixel moved. Dunno if the difference is sooo important, tho. The last two come with an unstained star and a pure-white paper with a cute edge. ;)

Hmm, doesn't that rather look like a search icon or something? When clicking that icon I intuitively expect to see more detailed information about whatever it appears close to.

Even as I like this icon: Image it isn't following the other's icon design. I think something like this is better suited: Image

hm, just remembered that a little favicon for this forum might be a good idea. it should not be exactly the same as the one for anidb though.
(/me does only see the favicons in the opera window bar as /me always has way too many pages open :roll: )
