Okay, I decided to take another shot at making some new icons for the forum home page.
These icons are based off of Kier's work courtesy of the vB3 graphics development kit, but have been tweaked a little so that hopefully they will better fit the look and feel of vB3's default style. I also took the liberty of converting the "bulletin board" backdrop from an angled perspective to a head-on perspective so that it would be easier to deal with antialiasing the edges.
I am also including the Adobe .PSD file for those of you who want to use it to make your own icons or adjust the aliasing so that they look better on your forum colors. If you are using Adobe Photoshop to render your own icons, I highly suggest that when you save them as GIF files, you set the matte color to be the same as the cell background color on your forums. This will prevent any white pixels from showing up around the icons on your forums.
This post will be followed by a second that includes the rest of the files.
These icons obviously go into their respective folders beneath the /images folder in your vB3 installation.
