The icons are very nice, Tim :)
Maybe the div background should be changed, or one added to the pngs, though: https://inkscape.org/en/*board https://inkscape.org/en/*editor https://inkscape.org/en/*moderators
(black on black is /a little/ difficult to distinguish)

Love the new icons!
Thanks Martin and Tim.
Actually I'd love to see more graphics on the website. Besides the basic theme created by Hineringi, I'd like to see some kind of graphic on almost every page, that sort of holds the whole site together in a graphical way.
I'm just thinking of some little (maybe even tiny) kind of cartoon character in the corner, or maybe above the black menu bar, between the logo on the left, and the search bar on the right. Just something to catch the eye, and maybe you want to linger a little longer on the page. Different characters for different pages or sections?
Wish I had those skills, but I don't. Would also like to see it perhaps as a community effort. Maybe something like, which artist wants to adopt this page? Or maybe just a straight up call for submission, or contest or something?
Anyway, thanks again :-) brynn

Dear Developers and Users,
I have been working with Tim Jones to develop some new icons for the website. I wanted the icons to have a theme and to carry a bit of identity for the teams they represent. So we went with hats. See the lovely icons in-situ here:
https://inkscape.org/en/teams/
Showing off the art is actually not just what I want to communicate. Firstly I want to thank Tim, because they have been awesome to work with and very productive with the brief. I highly recommend.
I approached Tim because he'd produced a piece of artwork with Inkscape and submitted it to our website (inkscape.org). The way we can host a small portion of our user's work on the website, is really something great for our community. Firstly because it shows us what great things can be done with the software, but also because it humbles us developers to know that our code is helping make such amazing work.
Getting new collaborators into a project is hard. Getting non- programmer contributions is harder still. But the way our website can highlight non-developer aspects of our community; gifts us an opportunity to expand the reaches of the contributing population, to bring in new people and help them contribute in whatever small way they can.
If you find yourself browsing the website, and you get an idea about how we might make the user community even better through improvements to the how the website works. I want you to let me know. Because users are just as important as developers, and helping people come together helps all parts of the project.
Thanks for listening!
Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator
