Future-proofing
A few thoughts for future-proofing our icons, so we don't have to redraw things in the future:
 * do everything as vector!
 * produce browser-ready SVG files where possible [though with today's mixed support, we won't always use them directly]
 * they can be re-rendered at higher resolution, or included directly in supporting browsers for high-resolution displays
 * generate the PNGs from the SVGs
 * for mobile, generate double-resolution images (for iPhone and iPad with Retina display, Galaxy Nexus, etc)

 * That is exactly one of the goals, Mr. Vibber! --Jorm (WMF) (talk) 22:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * What do you think about a "Goals" or "Objectives" section for the current page? --MZMcBride (talk) 20:05, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Licensing
Most of these icons will likely be public domain due to their very simple design and lack of creativity. I'd recommend going with CC0 for simplicity's sake. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:03, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Featured icon
Just wanted to say... is there a reason not to build on the Featured Article icon already in use across the wikis? Every Wikipedia from EN to ZH uses it. If there are copyright concerns as MZ mentions, a ground-up redesign would still work. Steven Walling (WMF) &bull; talk   18:43, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
