Graphics Requests Thread, Cheeky request - any subject logos? in EduGeek Graphics; Now I'm not asking anyone to go out of their way and start photoshopping up a full set of logos ...
Now I'm not asking anyone to go out of their way and start photoshopping up a full set of logos for me here, because I'm not that cheeky. But... if anyone has a pack of logos that they use for the subjects on their VLE (English, Maths etc.) that are fairly unified in appearance, would you mind awfully posting them up for me to steal? Our VLE working group are demonstrating the VLE to faculties for the first time tonight and I want it to look as SHINY and IMPRESSIVE as possible, and I've not had time to photoshop up some Web 2.0ish icons yet for various reasons, so if someone can save my posterior for me here, I'd be endlessly grateful!
As I said - don't go out of your way to make something for my poorly-time-managed self, but if you have something anyway and it will only take you a few minutes to zip them up and post them, then help a brother out!

Don't suppose you could add to that an icon which could be used to represent the library?
Tell you what, if people can list what subjects they would like added to the package I'll create them in one go. I'll sticky this post for the next week and give people a chace to add their requests. I can then use this list for any future sets.
Just to get you started ;-) this poped up at just the right time as were putting subject icons on our moodle server
Business
Drama
ECDL
Enterprise
Exp Arts
French
Health & Social Care
Humanities
i-Enquire (Year 7 English, Maths, history, Geography and IT blended together)
Inclusion
Media
Music
Performing Arts
Photography
Spanish
Travel & Tourism
And for what it's worth, subjects we have listed are:
English
Art
MFL
PE ICT
Religious Education
French
Sociology
Music
Maths
Drama
German
Spanish
Psychology
Geography
Business
Design & Technology
Science
History
I'll try and fill in the gaps myself today in which case I'll add them in here for oyu steal ideas/steal outright, but as I doubt they'll be up to your standards I won't be offended if they need redoing!
Cheers again, you're Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus, FACT
Here are some icons we commissioned. Please feel free to use them under a creative commons copyright for non commercial use. We are not able to create any new ones though.

Reason: inclde examples
Right, I've had a bit of a play in Photoshop to fill my blanks, and I've recoloured those that sysman gave me as I've themed my layout rather than just having a random mix of colours. There's a zip attached with all the icons at 512x512 PNG, and I've added a preview of the new extra icons along with a preview of how they all look together on my VLE with the fancy colour coding.
So cheers very much sysman - inbetween my servers literally shutting themselves off with no warning (and no complaint from the UPS, weirdly) and my MIS server's performance nosediving, I just about found time to get the page ready for the demonstration to faculties. Hurrah for last-minute-plans!
Cheers to everyone else for chipping in as well - I ran with sysman's as I had them first (and liked the simplicity) but this should hopefully be a useful resource to many for months and years to come.
Apart from Welsh, they are done in schools a lot in my area
Also PHSCE (Personal, Health, Social and Citizenship Education)
And Microsoft Academy subject area's would be great - Computer Basics, Internet and World Wide Web, Computer Security and Privacy, Digital Lifestyles, Productivity Programs, and Digital Literacy
If you could add those, that would be absolutely crackin! (I would also chuck a donation your way)
