I think we got two ideas on the table here: - difference between raster and vector - once you have established vector the ability to communicate polygon, point, or line (if known). If unknown perhaps we could stick to a generic vector icon? - once you have established raster the ability to communicate bands gray or rgb or actual grid coverage
