Peter, we do not need someone with skills in graphic design for this project. You will be an amazing partner of the "Improving Boost Docs" project. We need someone that takes some responsibility for this, that is all. Someone to take this subproject and finish it. You can count on me for the design part, and I am sure that others can help you too. We need a leader for each subproject, and I think you are the best for this one. If you want, add the page of this subproject to the wiki, and showcase there your progress showing the icons you have found, the options, etc. > Just to clarify the statement "The admonitions and arrows must match the > current green style." > > Do you mean that all the icon's must be green? :D Yes!

You may have a point here. This is other thing to add to the wiki subproject page. A rationale behind each decision you take. Seeing the last posts of Gennady it may be a good thing to be prepared for a formal review of all our work. > For the Admonitions I have tried to find Icons that are different shapes > to more visually state what is going on: > > Note: (Magnifying Glass) http://tinyurl.com/yrmuvr I like the current ( i ) circle more.

I think a common sense rationale for some of these admonitions will be: Warning ---> Yellow Caution ---> Red > What are everyone's thoughts? Please became the official icon guy :) Thanks!
