<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'd be willing to kick in a bit for
that, if it could include some low-resolution icons, including
monochrome - I'm already having to draw my own icons and I'm not
very good at it.<br>

I do know a couple of good graphic artists (including the one who
made this spiffy APRS poster: <a
href="http://www.argentdata.com/files/aprs_poster.pdf">http://www.argentdata.com/files/aprs_poster.pdf</a>)
but none that specialize in pixel art, which is probably what you
want for icons this size.<br>

<div>This might be a bit premature, but would there be any
interest in perhaps getting a "professional" artist to do a
Creative Commons licensed common icon set for APRS? It seems to
me we could probably come up with something like $25-$50 per
icon for an hour or so of artist time, and use Kickstarter to
fund it, or perhaps just have interested parties pledge on a
per-icon basis to get it done. We could start with the "basic"
set of 30 or so icons (houses, cars, jeeps, boats, scouts, etc)
and if we have success with that, move on with a second round.</div>
<div>The results would be licensed under a Creative-Commons
license, something like CC-BY-SA or some such.</div>

<div>Just a thought. There's clearly a desire for a "good" icon
set. The ones we're currently using are nice, but how cool
would it be to have something like 3D shaded models that are
fully described and can be either pre-rendered and loaded as
Icons, or even rendered on the fly at the appropriate
angle/light source angle, with shadows, etc.</div>

<div>I don't know of any artists that could do something like
that, but I'm betting either someone does, or we could find
someone using that Google thing…</div>
