Calling all Graphic Designers

We are looking for assistance in creating some new graphics for the 'downloads' section of the website. These graphics are used to identify the file types. For example tzx, tap, z80, trd.

If you have a flair for designing graphics and would like to help the site then please post some examples here. If we get a number of contributors we can hold a poll to see which is the favoured design. Ricardo (who does most of the site design and layout) tells me that the only criteria is that the graphics need to be square. I would also ask that the design fits in with the general style of the website.

Thank you in advance.

Can we include a Boaty McBoatface style get out clause in case all the submissions are crap?

What size? 16x16 pixels or 128x128 pixels makes a big difference in designing process.

Something that looks nice here:

We are looking for some icons that will work on this context (icons may also appear on "additional file downloads" ).
Our current icons are 200x200px (resized to 180px on desktop) with plenty of transparent space around.

Just in case you missed it when we originally posted this, we are still looking for designs.

The designer who submits the chosen icons also gets their name on the homepage credits!

If anyone's going to try for this could they declare an interest this week. Otherwise I'm going to employ someone I know on a 'mate's rate' next week.
