Sure, it doesn’t follow the size guideline, but this is just a guideline and if it’s not possible otherwise, you can pick any size you want, just as in this case.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> What I would improve is (don’t worry if it’s much, these are small things):<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>Make the darker-blue outline follow the leg a little bit more on the foot, this little part up to the circle.<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>Add shadow?<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>Add reflection/gradient?<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>Perhaps VERY LITTLE more detail, or a colour variation, but I don’t have yet an idea what.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hope that helps a little bit.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> By the way, I just realized that I can help you a bit and create some of the icons you requested. But I need to know for each icon exactly what you going to scale it up. It’s very important, so that I can adjust the lines to fit the pixel grid and be 1px thin.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Yours, Cube.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> MSN: <a href="mailto:kubasz@yahoo.com">kubasz@yahoo.com</a><o:p></o:p> ICQ: 264595412<o:p></o:p> AIM: aimcube<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Skype: cube_s<o:p></o:p> Yahoo!IM: kubasz<o:p></o:p> Xfire: cubibubi<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> GTalk: <a href="mailto:cubibubi@googlemail.com">cubibubi@googlemail.com</a><o:p></o:p> GaduGadu: 11945489<o:p></o:p> IRC: (Freenode) ``Cube<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> P Please consider the environment before printing this email.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'> From: tango-artists-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org [mailto:tango-artists-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org] On Behalf Of Adam Theo Sent: Donnerstag, 14.

I hesitate to call it a Tango icon since it doesn't fit the size constraints, but I've tried to fit it within the color and style as much as I can for a newbie. It's the "safe stick figure" I listed before. Attached. Hope you all like it, and feel free to pick it apart and improve it if you think it needs it.<o:p></o:p> <div> On Feb 9, 2008 9:06 PM, Adam Theo <<a href="mailto:theo@theoretic.com">theo@theoretic.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p> As instructed to me through private responses, here's my list of graphics I'll be working on for my Television production. Ant help with these would be greatly appreciated. Any graphics created for this will be treated just as I explained in my original post a week ago (all open, free, credit given).  I do not expect any help here. I am planning on making all of these myself, but I figured anything from anyone on the list would be a tremendous help. So I by no means expect all, or even just one of the following. I've broken this list down to easy and difficult ones. All would be of large size (i'll be scaling them up to anywhere from 100 pixels to 1000 pixels in size.) The size and thickness of the existing Tango icons in large SVG format are perfect.
