I agree with Steve. Use the paper statement metaphor that already exists rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. I would guess that Italians, Canadians, and everyone else in the developed nations have at one point received paper statements in the mail, thus I would think that the paper icon would be universal. But if you have access to your audiences, test some different icons out and see how each culture reacts to each icon, what they expect when clicking it, when seeing it on something...

Maybe approach the icon creation from how people view their paper statements. Just create a statement icon. Why differentiate paper versus online? Do people really make a distinction between a paper statement and an online statement? Isn't an online statement just a digital version of the paper statement? original msg: I'm not finding a lot of icons for paperless billing. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
