    Default Working on some images. There may be some inconsistencies with icons and gradients

    Doing some changes to the post icons and gradients. Switching to PNG and cleaning up some stuff...The new post icons are placeholders and haven't fully propagated yet. They don't look right yet, and I'm hoping to finish them up tomorrow night...BUT...if someone gets bored and wants to make the following 60x15 png images that represent the following:

    Map
    Question
    Tutorial
    WIP
    Praise

    (And any other's you can think would be useful), go for it. If I like them, I'll use em...but make them somewhat consistent

    Is it just text on a transparent background you need? Or do you need the brown-ish colour included?

    Well, before they were ugly beveled button like things with shadowed text on them. Very early 2000s looking, lol. I was going to modernized them a little but first I had to convert them to png. I took the same background and font and font color and made up the ones you see now without the bevels. But I don't like 'em. Lol. I decided I didn't like 'em after I made the change to Png and ran out of time before I had to get to bed.

    They can be anything really, just not those horrible bevelled buttons. And I'd like them to kinda match the site.

    Good news, I figured out why the default post icon was showing the ugly old image...AND I fixed it...now back to making attractive post icons. Or should I just get rid of them?

    It depends how minimalist you want to be

    Being the person that I am, I don't particularly like change all that much, and being as old as I am, I'm actually rather fond of those nasty bevelled buttons... but that's just me being sentimental for a vanishing age! LOL

    Well, I gave it a bash, but I dunno. Think I'm trying to do too much with too little space. I've uploaded an image showing a mockup. Not sure about the font, but it's hard to find one that's narrow yet still legible at a small size.

    I haven't created individual PNGs because I don't know if this is what you want. Either way, it was a lot of fun making them.

    EDIT: the font was bugging me, so I tried again with my favourite mapping font. I've put another set of icons at the right, but not in the mockup. Don't know if they're as legible tho.

    I love it! All of them! I can't decide!

    Also, I added a discuss icon to the list when you weren't looking, lol.

    OK, did another mockup and added a discuss button (on the right-hand column anyway). League Gothic font on the left. Antiquarian font on the right.

    I think I like the one on the right more, even though its a little harder to read. The plainer font is a little too simple for my tastes. Maybe bold the one on the right a little more if you can. But I love it!

    working with ChickPea's style, I tried some other fonts out.
    Question and Tutorial are just going to be problematic I think.

    First one and last one are from ChickPea's previous example.
