New Icons

The online/offline icons look a bit shoddy. Apart from that, the new icons are snazzy.
 
These new icons don't seem to fit with the forum skin much :\
 
Why are some of the lambda logos black and some are orange?
If it's orange, you have to make a post that has less than 20 words.
If it's black, you have to make a post more than 20 words.
If it's orange surrounded by 2 blacks, you have to make it both less than 20 words but it also has to be two sentences.
If it's black surrounded by two orange, you have to make a post with more than 20 words but only one sentence.
If there is a sequence of [black] [orange] [black] [black] , you must post in the last black section and use the word "hastily" at least twice in your post.
If there are more black icons than orange, you are not allowed to post at all.
 
V-Man on the new icons

I don't exactly like the new look but I can get used to it.
 
I'm getting used to them, and they look decent, but they could have a transparent background.
 
Since i don't actually look at the main forum page that much I can live with them, I guess.
 
Here are the same, except not as soft looking, with no shadows, and not lop-sided..

EDIT: looks like they chose :)
Nice alternatives Dog, I'll put them to Munro for consideration. I do prefer these myself.

You do have some stiff competition from Digi though I'm afraid.
 
It's not all that great. Kind of scares me. And you should get an online/offline icons that don't look like it's msn.
 
Idea: Kill the orange.

I like 'em right now but instead of glowing orange glow an icy blue to match the forum color scheme. (get the **** rid of tan)
 
Wow, new icons are great! Now remove ridiculous offline/online icons.
 
this are some changes made by me in paint

I think changing the yellow for orange in the new post icon is better cuz it contrast more,well on the gray scheme

Spoke too soon?

EDIT: Changed again! What are you mods doing to the site?!
 
Dog-- I like your icons but are you able to create them in a .gif format? It's the only way they'll work on the forums :O

Which ones - the ones I made a "preview" of HL2.net with or the other ones?
 
oh la la! those are some snazy new icons :) can we expect to see different icons for the other games?
 
I hate the Status icons. I can't tell which means online or offline, therefore I have to look at my status to tell.
 
^ Just hold your mouse over the icon and read the text.

Munro has an image in his sig? :O
 
What I still don't get is why the forums index icons aren't transparent. They have a very ugly square background :(
 
yay, i still have the old icons, good thing mine did not change as I found it hard to get used to the new one (checked the new one via iexplore, mozilla does not update until you press ctrl+f5, i wonder why..)
