Wat I would suggest using this. My new suggestion would be using the original SMW sprite (like it is with Moons only mirrored), or adding a small smile (at least I think the original one is supposed to look like it's smiling) so that it looks like this. MOD EDIT: Poll added (poll question and options exactly as specified by Masterjun). Polls are fun. -Mothrayas

Obviously it's only a question if we keep the one we already have or use the beautiful star that will probably win because the original SMW sprite or the smiling one will never win. (Poll clarification because I know that otherwise, some people out there will fail to get it such as scrimpy)

I suggest we hold a poll to determine whether polls are fun :P

Why give special status to SMW?

SMW's sprite is already used for the Moons icon (), and the star graphic already looks vaguely similar to SMW's star. Why not go all the way with that as well?

The current icon rocks.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

While we're at it, I don't know if April Fool's submissions get a special icon, but it should be

That's the first time I noticed the star actually has 2 random black pixels (supposed to be smiling?)

So, apparently this vote has nothing to say and Nach isn't going to change it unless I provide something I didn't understand. <Nach> Masterjun: the issue with that image is that it isn't clearly better than what we have and ensured it fits into the scheme of things <Nach> Masterjun: our stars and moons are happy <Nach> the one you just sent me is blank looking ... <Nach> Mothrayas: well, I'm not against changes, although Zeupar has taken point on icon overhaul already. I don't want to be a middleman here, and I don't want to have a war between people fighting between icons every day <Nach> So please talk between yourselves <Nach> When you have a conclusion, send me, and I'll replace I don't know what else to do to change it. I made new suggestions, I made a thread, I made a poll. I'm just not gonna care anymore.

Not enough people share your feelings, that's all.

If the icons are required to be happy (and I don't see a happy or but whatever) then go with the fourth option in Mothrayas' poll instead of the first one. The smile in the first one is basically completely invisible, and if you look hard enough to see it then you're also looking hard enough to notice that it's just not a very well-drawn star.

I don't see a poll option to vote for jimsfriend's icon, so I'll abstain.
