Looking forward to them. It could be a nice standard as e.g. the RSS icons. Good work. Great to hear! Looking forward to them. It could be a nice standard as e.g. the RSS icons. Good work.

I do need clean artwork -- and as such I've asked a friend or two to start work on a new icon set just for microformats. Not sure how long it will take, but I do take your point! Hey Jan,

I agree. I do need clean artwork — and as such I’ve asked a friend or two to start work on a new icon set just for microformats.

Not sure how long it will take, but I do take your point!

It is far less familiar than the OSX one, but should be "without string attached"... Maby the “contact-new” from Tango Projcet (http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery) would work?

I'm also sort of afraid of the licencing issues as the original card and plus sign artwork are copyrighted by Apple if I'm not mistaken. There might be alternatives in the OS/CC world for these.

For me the card presents 'information' and with feed, that is kind of clear. As with address, perhaps something in the background indicating the kind of information (very transparent and a plus sign. But then again, my dearest brother always said I should not try to do design. ;) (The man on the picture thing though bothers me a lot more each time I look at it.)

The hcard designs are actually ripped off from Apple's Address Book cards with custom mods... The MF icon came from simplebitsdan. I just cleaned it up and iconized it. @Nicole: Thanks... I think? ;) But yeah, they are a bit anonymous -- would be good to get some real designer on the case! @John: yup, as stated on the wiki, they’re released under a CC license.

Good to use though - for a guy. :) They look nice (although a bit anonymous which seems to defeat the purpose).
