I said I wasn't gonna do these in clusters, but Radio/ is another namespace that needs an icon and this seems like an easy one to do. Here's a collage of ideas I just cranked out; any of these work?

I like the image of a radio. Namespace icons are only 16x16, the shape should probably be really simple if it's to "read" well.

[up] My only concern with that is that people, at first glance, might confuse it for the TV icon...I wouldn't, and I doubt many in here would, but I'm taking the site's audience into account. I figured the FM station ones would be visually distinct enough to get around that.

3 is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the rest, is exactly what I would expect the Radio namespace's icon to be.

I think they're all fine. Pretty impartial here.

Picture-of-a-radio seems like a solid, obvious choice.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

The first is all right. The second looks like a tombstone.

[up][up]First is a bit similar to the tv icon due to the dual antennae. The 2nd one is too tombstone-ish. Willbyr's third icon looks most like a radio without also resembling something else.

[up] Agreed all-around.

Wow, this is going way better than the Anime/Manga thread...a couple more votes for the boombox and I'll submit it to Eddie for approval.

I vote for number three too, but if that doesn't pass I think we can all agree that the only answer is an image of Cuba Gooding's head.

Technically you already got your couple of votes (tongue), but add me in as a third more for #3.

[up][up] Oh shit. [lol] [awesome]

Alright, that's enough; I'll ping Eddie. Thanks, everyone!

EDIT: PM is sent, awaiting final approval.

I think this may have been installed, so I'm gonna go ahead and lock this.
