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)

According to this archived page, Haiku/ and ImageLinks/ used to have icons, but no longer do. note I also made some suggestions here for Shocking/ icons.
Maybe Art/ could be 🎨 and Script/ could be 🖨️?

Script already has this one:
It just needs implementation.

Hey, since Visual Novels doesn't have an icon I thought I'd propose one I made

I would like to see how that looks at icon size...

How much is icon size?
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Well, IDK the dimensions, but you see how small the other icons are. I'm just worried the details won't carry.

16x16 png per sticky post. I assume we are still going with that now.
EDIT: Here's the proposed branching icon from years ago. Can't find it in icon form right now...

Macron's notes
The Yggdrasil Cretin
The usual "quoteright" thing doesn't work, so how do I see what it'd look like at icon size?
the Retromancer
The Yggdrasil Cretin
My attempts to do something 16x16 on Inispaint X went...poorly...
But, as a concept, is my VN icon idea good?
(she/her)
Its not bad but I don't think of VN when I see it personally. That medium isn't the easiest to illustrate.
Macron's notes
The Yggdrasil Cretin
Tbh that kind of speech window the characters have is what I associate with Visual Novels personally
Alternatively we could go with two (minimal) people side by side with a rectangle between them?

Alternatively the Visual Novel Icon could look like this? (Note, I'm not suggesting the image itself as the icon, I made it in 2 minutes and would look shit at icon size, I am sending this as a suggestion for how the actual icon could look like and be structured like)
I think that's too much detail, it would be impossible to translate to a 16x16 icon.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
the Retromancer
Like I've said, it's more logical to make a 16x16 image to begin with before discussing how it looks.

I can't make them with my software
Can't make them look good anyway

A very quick mock-up of the concept done at 16x16:
I'm helping!
I dunno about good, but it sure looks, anyway.
Or an alternate version.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.The signpost one can be found in a .png
◊ with all the site's icons, both current and former. There's also an icon for Memes/ (Cereal Guy) and one for PlayingWith/ (a hand with a wrench).
My opinion on these.
- VisualNovel/ — Maybe? It's not the most illustrative but I get what it's going for, and it looks good at icon size unlike the suggestions so far.
- Memes/ — I like it better than the other suggestions on the sandbox.
- PlayingWith/ —
![[tdown]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thumbs_down_emote.png "[thumb down]")
, I prefer the puzzle piece icon that was suggested a few pages ago.
(she/her)
I am kind of partial to the branching sign and I think it's better than nothing. The other VN suggestions are ok in concept but are hard to se in 16x16. I am fine with the Memes image and I already vouched for the original puzzle piece icon for PlayingWith/
Any more opinions on the icons on Sandbox.Namespace Icons? I think there's enough icons suggested now and in the past for us to build a crowner in the near future.
Macron's notes- Art/ — It's not displaying for some reason, but it doesn't look good at that size.
- ImageLinks/ —
- Manhua/ — Meh? No real thoughts on this one.
- Memes/ — Already said in the previous post.
- Myth/ — I prefer the first take.
- PlayingWith/ —
- ReferencedBy/ — Needs to be grayer, it's hard to see in Night Vision. I like the concept, so if that gets fixed.
- Sandbox/ — Not sold on either.
- Script/ —
- Shocking/ — First one is just an emoji, second one is kind of boring.
- Timeline/ — Too busy.
- TropeCo/ — I think it clashes in style too much with the others.
- UsefulNotes/ — I'd wait for the other namespaces to be split before doing anything about this one.
to the WesternAnimation/ transparency fix.

A Script namespace Icon was already approved. It just hasn't been implemented.

I don't think that's gonna be very visible on night vision.
