Wikipedia:Icon standardization

This is a proposal to standardize the icons used in templates and MediaWiki messages on the English Wikipedia. The current icon scheme is an inconsistent combination of Nuvola and Nuvola-based icons, Tango and Tango-based icons, icons created for en.wikipedia (such as the original "Stop Hand" and "Octagon Warning" images, now replaced by "Web 2.0"-style Nuvola-based icons), and several failed standardization schemes (including the "ambox" icons and "Norro style 1").

Some examples of possible icon standardization
The following examples can be looked at for inspiration:


 * Comparison of icon sets
 * Flat icons designed for the French Wikipedia
 * Icons designed for the German Wikipedia
