Interesting idea. I would use fewer color fields for the GIF them
though. The brighter fields for PNG do not manage to get transparency
across.

How about
- landscape photography, smooth with gradients, for JPG
- just a few colors in a grid for GIF
- some kind of poster with a cut-out shape in front of a checkerboard
(like used by GIMP and PS to show transparency)
?

But where do these actually appear, instead of image thumbnails?
