Yeah I'll agree with you on that one It's very much just an idea so if anyone can think of anything better, they're more than welcome to create something
I'll do a compilation post of what we've got tomorrow morning... then if anyone wants to improve any of the images, they can be re-done, etc.
Some more of the ones requested.... I went with FF on this one as it's available across all 3 major platforms (unlike IE) Fixed per request I'm guessing that there will still be an electronics forum. If there is these might be handy (and others would be needed)....
I suppose it could be done, it's just I've seen so many molex questions in there (many all the same). I would have thought a PSU would be more appropriate for the "power" tag. I'll do both later and see how they turn out.
As promised, here's the compiled list of everything we've got so far, and what is still required!

A less disturbing humour? Couldn't get the glow properly in GIMP but I have the original if someone wants to tinker
Some more..... Getting the font readable is hard at this size. Yes, I realise the irony after the whole The Floppy is Dead article.
Wouldn't they be better if the flag was the background and the text was in front? It's not going to be very clear what they are to anyone that hasn't read this thread.
WOOT theres a Beer section!!!!!! good, i spend most my time in the pub, next il be in the online bit-tech pub. after a few threads il be speaking utter S***! lol
That's actually what the "For Sale" image tags are. That would make them the same and confuse the issue (that's why we abandoned the purple/white theme). I made these as Wild West style "Wanted" posters to differentiate them. I tried several versions with the text lower but it then made it realy difficult to see the flag. This was the best compromise of text/flag image.
I've updated my post above - there are 26 icons left to create in the current list (we may expand the list once we've rolled the new layout out).
Yeah well, the only picture I could think of that conveyed "politics" was the old map of Blue States vs Red States that we've all come to loathe (well I don't really care for it). I thought this was a fun spin on that for us techno-junkies.
