@erich214 said in What is with the hideous category icons?:
@cuppednoodle I'm not certain the Bear and Twinks image directly relate to the categories they represent?
For some categories I would prefer illustrations than photographs as it's easier to understand universally, eg. a generic book illustration rather than a GT cover since it's not a globally accessible publication. Same idea with images for TV/Episodes and Themed Movies. Using these, we're assuming everyone who accesses the site worldwide intuitively knows what the publication/show is. In addition to the site not having multi-language functionality for these icons, having as universally understood images would be simplest to assist as many users as possible who do not read/speak English fluently.
Hey, those were some of the trickier categories IMO. I just went with what I thought might work for those but wasn't too fussed about them since they seem more like novelty categories anyways haha. I have posted my working files here so if the powers that be deem any unfit they should be able to swap the images easily. Thanks for the feedback though!
