Issue Summary
This task is based on the findings shown at http://drupal.org/node/222761, where I reviewed our Contribute page and suggested improvements. One of the suggestions was to add icons to the page for increased appeal. I created a mockup (part of the final .zip file) to show what it would look like.
The task is to create those icons, based on those I selected. If you like, they can be themed on the Drupalcon, have a blue color, or whatever. It doesn't matter- but appealing is the name of the game.

I'll take a swing at this.

Oops just noticed that "that person" had claimed this on the DROP page, unassigning myself.
#3
ThatPerson, how's this going?
I just wanted to show everyone a beautiful example, running on Drupal, actually:

Sorry for the (huge) delay, but here's my first draft of the "contribute page" icons, all in one big .png file. I'm not particularly happy with some of them (namely the "development" icon).
Hope you didn't mind, but I used a (slightly) different icon for "documentation". Otherwise, they're all based on your suggestions.
Also, do the icon sizes *have* to be 32x32, or can they be a slightly higher size, like 48x48?
#5
First of all, I apologize for making this clear, but you have to actually MAKE all the parts of the icons- we can't use the Tango project's icons due to licensing obnoxiousness.
Also, for the money one, that was a horrible call for a starting idea, so you can feel free to make like, a dollar sign or something.
#6
48x48 or 64x64 would be fine, too.
#7
I'm claiming this DROP task as it hasn't been touched for a few weeks.
#8
I've attached rough ideas for the donate and user support images, I'll have some more in the next few days.

BrightLoudNoise: Will you still follow up with this? I like your designs! I say go for it. :)
#11
I would if there is still interest, but the D.O prototype doesn't seem to have any iconography on the related page.

I like the idea of icons for sure. My own preference is that the icons are generic to the topic they promote and don't include little hacks to the drupal alien head. Design wise the re-use of the drupal head gets redundant when you see it many times on a page.
#13
With the redesign under way I think this is moot now, so closing as won't fix.
