Love icons? Upload one for the Fanlore Icon article

Love Icons -- sure, we (almost) all do!

And yet, the Icon article at Fanlore is a sad stub of an article.

I recently read a post by yourlibrarian that was a class presentation on icons, here:
http://yourlibrarian.dreamwidth.org/269539.html, and it made me realize all the Fanlore article could be.

It's possible that anyone looking at the article is just daunted by the problem of finding characteristic icons, getting permission, and uploading them -- which is why I'm posting.

If we each uploaded one of our own/one that we had permission for (using categories already in the article, categories in yourlibrarian's article, or new categories altogether), it would be awesome in no time.

Icon article:
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Icons

And plenty of other articles could be cheered up by the addition of an icon or three...

using icons to illustrate a point

I looked for icons that I could use to illustrate something: ex heidi's Fair Use icon went on the Fair Use page. An icon lithium doll made for one of her vids, went on that vid page. I even used my Starsky & Hutch icon to illustrate the point that, yes indeed, some SH fans migrated to LJ.
