    He He !:lol:

    I had a suspision that the icon would be hard to get. I just cannot think of another graphic icon that will make people go; “Ok, that’s a preset”.

    How about the parameter dial icon, is that recognizable?

    It looks like some kind of box? Not a recognizable shape for me, sorry Frits. It appears to have a circular base but with a stair like top…? No idea…:(

    I think I would probably suggest another set of letters here… pa for parameters, that could be placed within another small round icon for consistency, in any case I would love to know what exactly that parameter icon is…? 8)

    I find both hard to recognize.

    For preset I think of something file related. When I peruse the windows icons I think something along the lines of the icon used for “administrative tools” under control panel or even the control panel icon itself would be somewhat more intuitive.

    It’s a dial I grabbed from a TC Electronic guitar effect:

    Instead of photographic icons I’ll try to experiment with symbolical icons. That will also make it possible to create different icons for the various preset and parameter types.

    I like them so far, even if they don’t all look immediately obvious they are all clearly different enough from one another that it is quick and easy to spot them apart which is the most important thing for them.

    I did think the preset logo was a sheet of paper though but then I also thought that was pretty cool idea as I have presets for all my guitar fx pedals scribbled on pieces of paper 😳 .

    Crystal clear now, but it really is not very clear at all in Podium. 🙁

    Worth a try. 😉

    Now that I see it from TCelectronic I can see it as a dial. Didn’t jump out at me at 1st though.
