Re: Icon Poll - is this OK?

[Shawn T Carroll <shawnthomascarroll () yahoo com>]

What dimensions are you shooting for with the icon? Is there a set __ x __ pixels?

My wife is a professional graphic designer, and is called upon regularly to design or redesign icons.  If the goal is 
to figure out ways to have a "record" button not look like an indicator light or stop sign, I bet she would have some 
ideas.

If you def want to go with the "record" paradigm, I believe there are some pretty well-established norms for this in 
the icon world.
