It is used on the R HTML help pages, for example.

A pure `R' version is in the R sources as a Windows icon.
One issue is size: 50 x 50 icons can convey more information than 16x16
ones, but one can have fewer such icons.  If I want icons at all, I want lots
of small ones.

I updated the icon list, added the:
windows icon and
some smaller icons (Bill, your icon didn't scale too well, that's why
it's not online).

Groet,
  Hedderik.

Thank you, Hedderik, this is nice.

The real challenge to all of you:

  Write an R function 
	i.  as short and beautiful as possible (short, but not obfuscated)
	ii. not using external data
  which draws a plot [I imagine  image(), but you are free]
  whose EPS or PDF file can be converted (e.g. by ImageMagick's "convert")
  to such icons.

The price for the winners could be an article in "R news",
or something even better. 
It would be fun for a jury at DSC 2001 in Vienna
to vote for the winner (and 2nd and 3rd)...

Yep, would be nice! To make it more challenging: I'd also like to have
a seperate CRAN logo for some time now, such that it is easier to see
on what pages you are on. Of course it should be related to the R logo
such that one knows it is for the same thing.  We thought about adding
some cranberries to the R logo (and maybe call CRAN goodies
cranberries like Java has it's beans), but of course we're open for
all good suggestions.

Best,
Fritz
