indeed it is, but i would keep the award icon coloured to give it a bit more "eye-weight"

edit: [bitch mode] also the baloon-shaped comment icon is too thick... i'd reduce the outline by 1pixel [/bitch mode]

I never designed the icons and I don't have time to modify them. I'll try the alternative comment icon which is only the outline - it doesn't look as thick.

I agree with md to keep the award icon colored.

wow, i just wanted to write the exact same thing as md
But yea, some colour would be really nice

looks super cute now ^^ just I still dislike "new window" buttons everywhere, and LB rating ("value") icon is still old

do not like the grey colour for the award cup, liked the gold one "old" much better

Let's try pure grey (it suits the sites decor). I find it being pure grey makes it highly readable. Thoughts?

I think not, look from drab gray, dark and unfriendly.
Who wants a gray cup and everything else in gray ?
Someone died or once again a cheap copy of Facebook ?
Before, it was a thousand times fairer and clearer.
Moreover, everything is too fat and clumsy.

BTW, soon all the flags in gray ?

it's just an "icon pack" (which is really a font): http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/

it's easily possible to color all the symbols or resize them (yeah, I agree icons might be a bit too big and stand too close to each other).

forzy, why don't you use icon-external-link for new windows? ;P

i can adjust it for you if you give me the image file. it's a 2 minutes job on photoshop

it's a font, link above. there is alternative comments icon with outline only.
