The current one is modelled after RSE’s type icons, which don’t fit with the DPPt icons we’re using. Also, pick better colours—the current one’s colours are too similar to Dark’s. I was thinking of picking dark purples somewhat like Shadow Lugia’s, significantly purpler than Ghost’s colours, and significantly darker than Poison’s.

I actually sort of intend to replace all the type icons with those from Gen V; I like the flat style they have and hope they preserve it in the English release.

Yeah, same, and I guess a ??? icon wouldn’t be hard to whip up.

I guess we’d also need to make new contest type icons, in that case… Might we want to categorize icons ripped from the game and fanmade extension icons separately in the fs?

What about ditching images and serving them as spans with display:inline-block and an appropriate font (\#551)?

As the i18n guy I’d like that very much :)
