Re: [Echo] Reworked mail-mark-(not)junk icons
The notjunk icon really confuses me. It's like aproving it's junk. Hylke 2008/9/20 Martin Sourada [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I've just finished another try on the mail-*-junk icons, because after a few days of usage I realised that no matter how much you try to get used to it, it always looks strange... I reverted to original design by Diana for mail-mark-junk (with various changes) and changed metaphor for mail-mark-notjunk to, a) better fit with the rest of echo icons, b) to better fit with oxygen icons and c) to IMHO better symbolise the mark-notjunk action.

Re: [Echo] Reworked mail-mark-(not)junk icons
Martin Sourada a écrit : I see your point... My idea was something like: tick symbolises that it's OK and the semi-transparent junk symbol suggests that it's about the junk - i.e. the mail is not junk... But well, seems it's too complex metaphor to grasp on first try (which is bad). What about something like this (see the attachment)? Martin Mail-mark-junk is much better than other version that looks like a wet hedgehog. For mail-mark-notjunk icon, why not keeping the same metaphor minus wet hedgehog. For me, this draft means the mail has been verified.

[Echo] New trash related icons
Hi, I think there some major problems with how the current trash related icons look in small sizes and I've tried to fix them once already, but since I didn't want to touch the Diana's original design (the trash is one of the first icons that were in the Echo set), it didn't end up very well. Today I decided I'll give it a go (since I had already a new design for it in mind), do it anew and see what the reaction would be like... Just a small note, the edit-delete one has different perspective, because it's from Action context ;-) I attach the basic one (user-trash), but the rest is on my fp.o page.

I didn't exactly liked the original metaphor because it symbolises to me delete junk mail type of action...

I'm talking about real life, not artwork =) In real life it is usual as well, at least with paper trash bins [1], though the very design I used is not based on any real-life trash bins. Also note that the cause for the transparency of my design is different - mine trashbin is done from coloured dim glass (or at least is supposed to be made from such material), while most real-life ones are transparent because they have holes in their body.

Could you add some outline to the stripe as well? Also you could make the handle a little bit broader in the smaller sizes. Could you try using dark brown outline instead of the metallic one? I think it might work better.
