I've noticed that the only media namespaces that don't have unique icon are Animation, Art, Manhua, Myth, Script, Theatre, Visual Novel, and Wiki. I find that strange, so I came up with this thread as a place for us tropers to come up with ideas for icons that these namespaces (could) have. What icons could we give them?

[up] I believe only admins can do that. Also Wiki/ may or may not get deprecated soon anyway.

[up]I know that actually giving them icons is unlikely, but I just wanted this thread to consist of us "suggesting" ideas for icons. Do you have any?

[up] Theatre is obvious: Either the happy/sad theatrical masks, or a red curtain. I've also heard an easel thrown around for Art, and that'd work great too. Script could have a paper and pencil, or a typewriter. The others I'm not sure about: Myth is so broad, while Visual Novel is so specific it's hard to think of something from it that can represent the medium as an icon.

Namespace Icons still exists, fyi.

I didn't know that page existed. Thanks, Septimus Heap!

How do we go about adding new images to that sandbox page?

I believe the discussion continues here, so this thread can...
