Pointing fingers ... er ... pencils

[vampwillow]

Just a little thought, but I was looking at the page and thinking that post to Journal when the pencil icon is exactly like the LJ one might cause someone who uses both (only temporarily, you understand) to have a moment's reflection on which account they were posting to, especially if at some point they style them both the same.

How about pointing the pencil the other way (or changing it to, eg, a green pencil) to differentiate it?


(posted in docs as it isn't really about a tech issue and not sure where would be better - feel free to point me somewhere more appropriate!)

How about just making the pencil red?

Looking through the zip, the one for feed accounts is the RSS icon, which LJ used for a little bit then replaced because that's supposed to be the standardised "RSS feed here" thing, so a syndicated account should have something different?

But overall, they look good. Not sure the 'post' icon is distinctive enough though, I plan to have a 'share this' link in my layout for a lot of services, including LJ and DW, needs to be a clearly distinctive logo look I think.

Yep I was thinking red too!:)
