I think it would show more definition of filetype without the paper<br>
background as a border. I also think it's an unnecessary trope left<br>
over from older systems that tried to represent digital information in<br>
a "physical" representation. If you think about it conceptually, the<br>
paper is only there to serve as a reminder that the file is a file.<br>
But what else is it going to be? If we have these distinguishing marks<br>
(video negative, photos, music note) we may as well go the whole<br>
shebang.<br></blockquote></div><br>I see your point but I like paper idea too :)<br>Of course, this it's a matter of opinion.<br>I'm gonna make the 16px only with the symbols like Cory suggested and see how it looks.<br>

</div>Well, I actually didn't say that. I just wanted to achieve a balance.<br>
<br>
I kinda think some of Sebastien's icons have become a little less<br>
detailed over time. Something I'm not keen on. So, if ya wanna pin me<br>
down, sure. The film might be a little highly detailed but I don't wanna<br>
see it lowered too much. Just balance.<br>
<br>
You know, for the audio files, we don't /have/ to use a note for all of<br>
them. We could use a mix of music symbols. Treble/bass clefs for example.</blockquote><div><br>I only make this icons to show the idea, they still need some work. So when we are good to go, I retouch them and I try to maintain a balance in the details.<br>
</div></div>BTW, Cory, what icons do you think need more details?<br clear="all">-- <br>Seba (AKA spg76)<br><a href="http://www.ubuntu-ar.org">http://www.ubuntu-ar.org</a><br><br>
