That's not katakana. That's kanji, and editing kanji on 24 x 24 sounds nightmarish.

Anime is written in katakana by default because it is not Japanese in origin.

Consulted the other wiki and this is the proper spelling, or at least the most proper spelling that looks good at this size.

Google is lying to you. I first thought you were putting Enrish for "sleep" above that fan. Wrong diacritic, but you wrote "suliibu" in katakana above that second fan.

I'd put the proper characters for manga up, but my work computer doesn't have the appropriate fonts added.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Though since "manga" is a native Japanese word, you'd use hiragana and not katakana for it when not using kanji.

Yes, hiragana and katakana only. Still, it was actually easier to fit the Japanese on those icons than the English.

I would say make a copy that actually says "anime" and "manga" though if ya can.

And a "エッチ fan" banner tongue

No on that last one. I'll see if I can squeeze English onto those.

The treble clef is upside down.

Perhaps also a microphone badge?

I know it's upside-down. It doesn't make a pretty heart if it's not. Version with English.

Could we reuse these for the namespace icons? There's a thread in IP...

Namespace icons are a whole 8px smaller on each side. That's a lot.

For the Japanese anime and manga badges, why not just make the manga one greyscale?

#193: Apr 10th 2012 at 5:20:05 PM

Because colour is prettier and they don't look as good greyscale.

The badges have to look appealing for people to want to buy them with money.

Could we represent anime with a stereotypically "anime" face, and put that face inside an open book for manga?

#196: Apr 10th 2012 at 5:25:47 PM

We can have more than one badge for a fandom. These aren't going to be like the namespace icons where there's only one choice and we use that everywhere.

Got everything updated, including changing the opening a bit by replacing the "let's make some badges" with general info about the badges.

Maybe a greyed-out Herald badge for heralds outside their own forum?

That's redundant because the Herald badge only appears inside their forum.
