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)

They are supposed to look like Teacups.

Hi
I like the last one as well.
The last one is the best.

In uffish thought
Indeed.
Also, Septimus, if you have any young friends or relations then you may well end up seeing the Teacups at the next fair you go to.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Anyhow, I think we can go with the ride for Ride/.

I like the rollercoaster. It's more clear than the teacups.

Roller coaster fo' sho'.

Can we go with the coaster now? It's got seven upvotes from all the topic regulars, which is kind of a lot.

Am I a weirdo?
I also support the last one.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
OK, so the roller coaster it is. Added it to the sandbox.

Right, so before this we were discussing possibilities for TropeCo/, and I suggested a briefcase, of

Hi
I like 1, 4, and 5.
I actually like the third one best myself.

6 looks like an error message. I can't see what 5 is.

It worked when I first linked it, but for whatever reason it doesn't now. It's gone from the OP.
Also, I noticed that there's a Pinball/ namespace. I figured that the most obvious choice for an icon would be a pinball, and I've found a
◊ few contenders.

Really? Pinball machines? Wonder how many pages that namespace has gained; inevitably more than I'd have assumed...
I like the third pinball the best.

That's... actually roughly on par with what I was guessing.

You'd be surprised at how many pinball enthusiasts there are. Check out the reviews over at the Internet Pinball Database, for starters!
Anyway, the third one is probably the best, but for whatever reason I feel a little attached to the first one for how old it looks. Dunno why.

This is Rain. Isn't she pretty? :)
That's still more than "AlternateRealityGame/" and "Ride/".
I'm not LGBT. I just think Rain's really cool. Apologies if my humor gets too painful.
Just a reminder that we are trying to maintain an official namespace list, so namespaces shouldn't be added willy-nilly to the sandbox page just because someone happened to create a page there. We can hash out what the icon might be if it's approved, but it does have to be approved.
Sorry about that. I tried to keep it updated, but I guess it wasn't a good thing to do.
Should I delete the "lesser" namespaces?

Last one for me too. The others look more like cups.
