Why not use the ones you already have for quality with a smaller size?

Well, that as far as I will go... they are already 10x10, that's really insane to get something understandable.

Er, I'm no artist (as should be painfully evident), but if small is what you want, how about icons like this?

I really think this looks good enough imho. Pelican's icons kinda look like the tri-force thing from zelda 64 :) I think it's kinda confusing though :/

I think it's time to do something about the layout of the new wiki:
http://www.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

anyone interested in making (at least) a new image for the top left?

I'm no good at this, but I was working on my own wiki today and needed to put an image there, so I decided to try one for here too. It's not great, but it's not a flower. The image is from a wallpaper that I found at multiple sites, so I don't think there it a problem using it.

Maybe use something related to current AniDB pets?! :P

I'm more inclined for 3 (maybe it needs some work with the background).

That's actually why I chose Chii, a lot of people "talk" to her on irc, but nobody gets to see her... :wink: Really I don't care, I just thought I would kick things off.

Make the background color transparent, and then you're done... Actually I found out today that IE will show the color of the background instead of being transparent, so the image I have is really ugly (it had a bright green background, it was an easy color to use for editing...).

There's a need for more prety icons :P

the candidates for getting an icon are:

* Video file
* Subtitle File
* Audio File
* Other File (optional)

if someone can conjure icons for file<->file relations and file<->ep that wouldn't probably go to waste.

default icon size of anidb (15x13), anime page

thanks

Edit: this is just a silly request but could you conjure an icon for something like "ask a mod"?
(like the new "mod cmt" links could be hidden behind a perfectly good happy *ask a mod* icon :P)
