This thread deals with all issues concerning the icons used for namespaces and their buttons, including proposals for icons for new namespaces and bugs with existing icons.
When submitting an icon, the icon images should be exactly 16x16 png with a transparent background. A gif can also be used, but png is usually better. Also, the naming convention is important. It should be the namespace in lowercase.
I am compiling a list of namespaces that need icons, and icons for those name spaces. This would be preferred to be done quickly because I've convinced Eddie to hook them up when I get them complied. I will be editing the OP as we go.
NOTE: Use the link to the sandbox in the thread title to see what still needs to be decided on.
Subpages that still need icons:
- Animation/
- FanWorks/
- Manhua/
- Sandbox/
- Timeline/
Subpages that already have icons hooked up (please note, this list has been collapsed into a note, so that the floating header post isn't huge)

So are we calling this any time soon, or what

The best and the worst.
The webcomic one looks better thanI would have thought. Are these going to be implemented when we get all of them?
Me and my friend's collaborative webcomic: Forged Men
Should this be an OP-on-every-page thread? Might help with not getting duplicate questions like "when are these going to be implemented?"

Oh, for the OP master list, can WebOriginal/ be replaced by Blog/, LetsPlay/ Podcast/, WebAnimation/, Website/ and WebVideo/?
I do know that a few of those did have suggestions, but I'll have to dig through this thread...
I now go by Graf von Tirol.
I'll repost my long list; maybe somebody should edit this into the OP or something.
The list I posted most recently should be a relatively up-to-date summary of the entire topic. I'll repost it for the new page:
- Advertising/ $◊
- Anime/ Eye◊
- Awesome Music/ Something from this thread?
- Bollywood/ Film with flag◊
- Blog/
- Comic Book/ Has an icon. It's the little lightning bolt one in this set.◊
- Comic Strip/ Snoopy◊ (or is this Newspaper Comics?)
- Creator/ Reuse of the quill/inkpot for So You Want To/ has been proposed. Are we doing that? To be fair, most of the So You Want To/ pages lack other subpages (I think?), so this button will almost never show up in that context...
- Disney/ Mickey◊
- Drinking Game/ Wine glass◊
- Fan Fic/
- Film/ Has an icon
- Franchise/
- Let's Play/
- Light Novel/
- Literature/ Has an icon.
- Machinima/ Machinima.com icon◊ (I think)
- Magazine/ This◊ had some support on page 13.
- Manga/ red hiragana a◊ (not a fan of the color, personally, but it won the crowner, so here it is)
- Manhwa/ and Manhua/ Brought up here, nothing concrete yet
- Music/ Has an icon.
- Podcast/
- Radar/ Has an icon.
- Radio/ Third one will be hooked up.◊
- Recap/ Has an icon, but only shows up in watchlists

- Series/ Has an icon
- Shout-Out/: Megaphone◊
- Tabletop Game/: Die◊ (monster, you don't belong in this world)
- Theatre/ Masks◊
- Video Game/ Controller◊
- Visual Novel/ branching sign◊
- Web Animation/ Homestar◊
- Webcomic/ Stick guy.◊
- Web Original/
- Website/
- Web Video/ This◊
- Western Animation/: Has an icon
- Wiki/ Wikipedia logo was proposed, but no actual icon submitted.
- Wrestling/: Mask◊
Ignoring the And The Fandom Rejoiced thing from last page some number of pages ago; really not sure we want a tab for that, lest we need tabs for every other trope so large they broke into subpages by medium.
World's Toughest Milkman
Should toss the new Audio Play/ namespace on the list; it's already got over a dozen pages.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Quick questions: (No better place to post this)
1. Who's the mods here? 2. Where do locked threads go? Started one less than 24 hours ago. Now it's gone. Never start a thread before I sleep again.

Quick answer: Moderators are listed under Know the Staff, main one here is Willbyr. The thread you made on Vapor Wear was moved to the Image Pickin' Morgue - use the Google search to find it, I can't link it from a phone.
Also, the thread known as IP policy is right up here.

Bump.
I've got a few suggestions - the Let's Play namespace could use the LP Archive's logo (I'm not sure if it would be visible when shrunken, though...) or just reuse the one for Video Games, Web Original/ and/or Website/ could use a mouse cursor, and Fan Fic/ could either use Fanfiction.net's favicon or reuse the Literature/ one.
Bumpity bump.

Do you mean the gray and white controller icon, or the red and white plus sign?
Pretty sure I meant the controller icon - the cross wouldn't illustrate the video game aspect of it.
This is my best attempt at making pixel art out of it.
Nice! That would work.
Let's see what other tropers have to say about it, though.

Very indistinct, I must say.

Better than my suggestion of the Retsupurae logo, at least.
Moon◊
Might work better without the gray background.
Then what color should it be? I just used the background color that the actual site uses.
White, same as the background we'll actually be placing it on. Maybe invert the colors to keep the gray in there.
How about this?
I actually prefer the one with the gray background. Maybe just a darker gray?

Well, it's been a week and it's probably safe to say we have a winner. [1]
