Welcome to the Icon Update Finalization Discussion!
We have a new Survey online as well as Icons to review, by January 15. Your input is so important!!\
It will take 1-2 hours to review the Icons and complete the Survey or you can add your comments in this Discussion. Although the Survey must be completed at one time*, it is easier for us to review. We need to finish our design work on the Icons by the end of January 2008, so we hope you understand we cannot accept late replies after January 15.
There are many new things to consider, and really appreciate your time and care giving us constructive, specific ideas on how to improve them.
We recommend that you start by reviewing the Icon Chart.
You can view this PDF at different sizes to see the Icons smaller or larger (or print on A4 or letter-size paper).
Note: this & all the following charts can be downloaded in one 900 K Zip file.

To review the "Pattern Language" that guided the design of the new Icon (and with which you can create new local icons), download the 300K Pattern Language Chart.
Optional: To review the draft Definitions, download the List of Icons with Definitions.
To see how we developed the new headings & organization, download: Icon Category Definitions & Comments.
To review an arranged list of Icons, download the spreadsheet.

Your Green Map team members can respond individually or as a group. Please be sure to add your name at the end of the Survey and submit it by clicking Done.
* The Survey is a convenient way to comment on Icon design, title and placement, but the "Survey Monkey" will only let it be submitted once. So if another person wants to comment, or you want to say something more, please use a different browser or a different computer.
Later, we will ask you to review the "standard and extended Icons" for the poster and font arrangement.
Thank you for your thoughtful responses by Jan 15, 2008! The Survey collects your replies for us, but if you prefer to email comments (info@greenmap.org) or comment freely using this Discussion, that is OK, too.
The results of the Survey will be considered carefully, but as of now, we are not planning to make them publicly available.
Special thanks to everyone involved in Icon Update V3 from many parts of the world!
