Top icon is the only one that looks like a radio tower.
I like the weird masonic pyramid, like the one on the dollar bill.
Can you make a little tiny version of the picture of Labs' colon?
The original is the only one that looks like a candle with a halo. The holy spiritz in ur IM, blessin ur chatz.
If you use the third icon (aka the sweaty pyramid), people might think you've been initiated into the Freemasons.
Can you make a little tiny version of the picture of Labs' colon?
There's the one in the top left of this group here.
Can't we get something really cute and colorful? And animated?
They're all so special. Consider the lilies.
I thought Ogged's original was a monstrance.
SifuTweeety's is Masonic.
The lightning bolt on black is very sharp but is a bit fascistic.
Shazam is nicely Buck Rogers-ish.
The first one looks like a radio tower. At first I thought it was tower with quotes around it. But I see I was wrong.
Yeah, I like the sweaty pyramid, also.
I'm surprised nobody came up with a version of the little AOL running man. That seems the most logical.
Your comments do not constitute a vote and any emerging consensus means nothing NOTHING to me.
I knew you'd get behind the Bush Doctrine sooner or later. In the UN that is unfogged, who is Libya?
Take the goatse picture I link in 7, and add radio waves. Bingo.
We need the picture of Abu's colon and Apo's nipple.
His colon broadcasting my nipple.
It should look like a robot, FFS. Then again this is going to be added to a line of icons where a telephone is symbolized by a car.
The Masonic Pyramid looks like it's sweatin' under the pressure. Which the AIM bot will no-doubt be doing under the strain of the comments it will have to propagate across the æther. Failing that, the fascist lightning bolt comes closest to matching the existing scheme.
I wanted to make a robot, but, like I said, I have no skills and 16x16 is a tough medium. I make no apologies for the car.
It appears the bot is down. Now what symbol does it get?
21: A frowny face. A cute, colorful frowny face, with animated tears.
Fucker's down? Arg. I need to start logging.
22: Seems like there should be an obvious joke there about "The bot that never goes down on you," but I can't figure it out. Do help.
A swastika is a good symbol. You could even superimpose it on a colon backdrop.
The icon should have the same simplicity and weight as the others up there. Good design demands it. Sweaty pyramid doesn't quite cut it (and do we really need a reminder of Tweety's excessive perspiration?). The fascistic one is best, but the black is too heavy; it would work in gray or a color other than the ones used for the RSS feeds. Shazam is too... shazam-y.
I think the fascist one and the pyramid would both go well with the other icons. The radio tower is too thin.
I thought the red one was an ice cream cone or a banana. Is it also a lightning bolt? My monitor is kind of dark.
Something along these lines might be nice (that particular one is slightly too big).
Given what this is the premiere source of ...
Probably safe for work, given that it is a 16x16 icon, not photographic

I like the robot idea better than the transmitter idea.
Shazam is too... shazam-y.
Yeah, I confess I took about two minutes to put that together, mostly as a joke. (And it looks that way, can't you tell?) I wasn't seriously expecting Ogged to slap it on his website. Of the icons offered, the little RKO radio tower (the first one) is probably my favorite.
Robot best, but if you're too damn lazy to make a robot and can't steal one or get someone to do it for you, definitely the masonic pyramid.
The radio tower is too thin.
That's exactly what I said when I mailed it to ogged last night because:
Top icon is the only one that looks like a radio tower.
Doing a radio tower in 16x16 is nigh impossible. Either it goes pyramidal, or it's too thick, or it's Labs' cock. Happy that I got a tower out of it, not happy because it's not usable.
Popoluxe and I should form a mutual admiration society, since I totally dig the lightning bolt. That said, it probably is a little too Totenkamph Verbande ... but emerald green instead of black might work. It would put in the same color sensibility as the RSS icons.
Anyways, after I finished the RKO tower and gave up and went to bed, it did occur to me that the obvious thing (since it's a bot that uses IM) is a smiley face of some sort. Sadly, surrounding it with black does not work in 16x16, nor does any color combo except using a gray face, if you stick to the Unfogged colors.
Therefore, Unfoggo and Unfoggo in a girlier and more insane version.
The lightening bolt gives me an idea on how to save ogged's "radio tower" as an antenna, and I got another idea for converting the web site icon, so I'll go dink with that.
m, something might even stick!
5th bit of comment spam. If anyone sees JL around here, please ask him to e-mail me. It's semi urgent. I sent him an e-mail at his yahoo account.
I think the answer is to be found in the "back view" icon from the International Male catalog.
I see the hirsute thread gets a 125 comments an hour; that deserves a Cronenbergesque throbbing icon.
