Hello all,
Serendipity is currently searching for a new design. In accordance with that, we are in need of having some icons redesigned. Very simple :)
This is a list of icons which needs replacement:
- Delete
- Rename
- Scale
- Zoom
- Plus [expand]
- Minus [contract]
- XML
![Plus [expand]](http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/php-blog/serendipity/pixel/plus.png?rev=1.2&view=auto){kind=link}
![Minus [contract]](http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/php-blog/serendipity/pixel/minus.png?rev=1.2&view=auto){kind=link}
They basically have to be either jpg or gif (since IE doesn’t like png), and work on all kind of backgrounds. Gif is preferred, since it can handle transparency. The icons (except plus and minus) should be smaller than the ones above , since they are a little too big (duhh)
- Most importantly, we are looking for something like this http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4165150/, filetype symbolizers.
Basically it would be an icon to symbolize a “default filetype”, like windows shows the windows icon next to a file, if it has no idea what kind of filetype is. This icon will be placed on a white background, so no need to worry about transparency.
- Also, if anyone has a cool set of PNG/GIF transparent smilies we could use, that would be awesome.
- Last but not least, if anyone could think of (and create in Vector) a Mascot or a new cool Logo, then that would also be greatly appreciated.
Of course, if you also want to create a new design, then who am I to stop you ;)
Since our project is open-source and that the theme will be bundled with
our released package, you will be granting access for everyone to use
your work, including companies.
Any suggestions or contributions can be sent to ts [at] dreamcoder.dk
Thanks so much :)

Wicked, the smilies looks great, will give them a shot.
The icons are cool, but I don’t know if they would fit with our current theme,

Tom, where abouts are these icons being used (delete, rename, scale, zoom… etc.)? I skimmed through the administration section but couldn’t see any of them except the XML icons – I’m probably missing something obvious here :)

The image manager / Media Library

Oops – haven’t tried the media manager section yet. Thank you :)

Perhaps you could try e-mailing that guy from DeviantART. Those icons rock, and maybe he would be willing to let us use them (good exposure for him…) Can’t hurt to ask.
