This thread deals with all issues concerning the icons used for namespaces and their buttons, including proposals for icons for new namespaces and bugs with existing icons.
When submitting an icon, the icon images should be exactly 16x16 png with a transparent background. A gif can also be used, but png is usually better. Also, the naming convention is important. It should be the namespace in lowercase.
I am compiling a list of namespaces that need icons, and icons for those name spaces. This would be preferred to be done quickly because I've convinced Eddie to hook them up when I get them complied. I will be editing the OP as we go.
NOTE: Use the link to the sandbox in the thread title to see what still needs to be decided on.
Subpages that still need icons:
- Animation/
- FanWorks/
- Manhua/
- Sandbox/
- Timeline/
Subpages that already have icons hooked up (please note, this list has been collapsed into a note, so that the floating header post isn't huge)
Links to installation-ready icons here and forward

, Yeah, unfortunately on my laptop that's really difficult to make out.

Attempts were made.

All of those are still pretty tiny, but the third is absolutely the best.

I like the third one.
If I understand it right, the icons display up to 17×19 when empty space is excluded. If empty space is included then they go up to 18×21 (technically 20×21 for Radio, but anything wider than 18×21 overflows the actual icon image).
- bundle.css displays from 10×21 pixels (Tear Jerker) to 20×21 pixels (Radio), seemingly at half size. No width limit here.
- namespace_sprite.png◊ has icons with around 36×80 of space.
- Icons can go up to 36×42 (18×21) before reaching a limit.
- The current icons go up to 34×38 (about 17×19) excluding empty or unused space.

Well, the pinned post needs to be updated if that's the case.

Honestly, couldn't a square with 3 dots just work for VisualNovel/?

I'm not much of an artist, so are we allowed to just use one of them or at least follow a design closely?
I have heard that there was a troper who is an icon artist here though.

Are you referring Moefoxes?
They said that they'd be down to draw new Namespace Icons.

Yes. I think we could ask them to draw a circus-like platform.

Besides a math derivative symbol, are there any other ideas for a Derivative Works/ icon?

For DerivativeWorks, the recycling symbol
He/Him
Holy crap, that's actually perfect
He/Him
Something like this could work for Derivative Works/ based on your suggestion:

I like the recylce symbol for Derivative Works

Hi
Using the recycle symbol for Derivative Works is very clever. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thumbs_up_emote.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}

Honestly this suggestion for Visual Novel/ is really good:
Discarded and Feeling Blue
It's easier to see on normal vision, but at least it's not one of the ones that turns invisible on night vision lol

For Art/, an art pallette seems pretty obvious

Do any of the suggestions in Namespace Icons have clear consensus are ready for installation yet?

Hm it's hard to see anything unless I zoom in on mobile, and I guess on desktop it would be even harder.
OBJECTION!
