[Bf-taskforce25] Icon Requests

[Sean Olson]

I did some brainstorming on this with a close friend and came up with some icon ideas for this.

Auto comes from automated...when I think of automated in the physical world I think of a car factory with big robots.  So what about a robot hand?   Like this - http://www.rhythmix.org/images/robotHandSmall.jpg or this http://www.geekalerts.com/u/robot-arm.jpg

We then came to the conclusion that since coming up with an icon for "auto" is so hard, maybe the term auto is too generalized.   That made us come up with a few different ideas.

A Baby Name Book - http://thesituationist.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/baby-names.jpg
A barcode - basically serialized names - http://blogs.asee.org/goengineering/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/barcode.gif
A Label Maker - http://content.costco.com/Images/Content/Product/379391.jpg

A Mix of Label Maker & Barcode - http://www.ebnprinting.com/images/u25.jpg

Anyway, hope these ideas help.

> The "car" icon is bad, but I think a cpu icon would be even worse. That toggle doesn't turn your cpu on or off, it lets the system automatically figure out something. That's why the car icon was sort of good, it was consistent for all automatic actions (auto naming materials and textures, automatic thread setting, ...)
