Read / Unread style

So what do you think of the scorpion icons?

I like them, but I think they could be a little more "in your face". If you know what I mean.

What do you all think of the buttons now? We are still coming up with a definitive button scheme so nothing is final yet.

I liked the idea of scorpions for the pics, but maybe something a little more detailed and maybe angled toward us but not at us. I am going to try to mess around with some pic and see if I can't make anything you guys like. What are the parameters for those pics?

I actually have no idea what the param is for those...I would say just try and make something close or use this for a template:

I don't really like the round buttons -- kinda hard to see new posts (forums) and the size difference (threads) looks wrong. I would think big button = new posts, little button = no new posts.

You guys may want to reverse the size of the new message indicator. Have the large sign for new ones and the smaller one for old messages.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at.

Well so you guys know I'll be making something preety cool this weekend. Using Robert's idea. SO look out for new styles.
