documents icons

Maurizio.zani15 · April 21, 2017

Good morning. I'm a librarian at university of Bologna (Italy), i'm preparing some slides for an information literacy course. I would like to present the multiples types of scientific documents. The Zotero's icons of scientific documents are very pretty, but i can't dowload them. Do you know if the icons are downloadble ? and where? can someone help me?

Which icons do you mean specifically? The icons for journal article/chapter/report/etc.?

Hello. As librarian with the same needs, I searched several icons used in Zotero.
The synchronisation icon prefs-sync.png come from another set of icons. You can download them on Wikimedia Commons : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tango_icons
(ok, not really a document type, but this can be useful !)

Hi. Does any body know where I could get the icons used in the MSword and libreoffice plugins in higher resolutino than just a few pixels ?
Thanks a lot.

I designed the icons and would need to make versions of them that are larger.

Hi @bwiernik and thanks for answering so rapidly :- )
I need larger version to make cards for a "Zotero memory" game I prototyped. It's a very simple game to end traning sessions.
I managed to find all the other icons in sufficient image definition but not these one, so I'm not comfortable to make the game (even as prototype; under CC of course) downloadable.
256 px png, like PastelSVG-large-1.2, would be great !
Even 128 px.

Okay. Can’t promise when I would be able to get to making icons that large.

Hi @bwiernik . I spoke about my "zotero memory" game and other librarians are interested, but I don't want to put online a version I without the icons we spoke about. I can try to create them myself in higher resolution. Did you remix some existing vector or bitmap images ? Could you send me any information about them ? Thanks a lot, AM

I started from icons similar to the Word for Windows Insert Citation, Citations (Bibliography), and Settings icons.

You can see the images here:
https://github.com/zotero/zotero-word-for-windows-integration/commit/9a3b7649391a8fa3d5af486cbc44d6bde155efb5

It would be fairly straightforward to scale them up to a larger resolution (or even better to scan them into a vectors); I just haven't had the time. Icons at 64 and 80 px would also be great to add better support for high DPI screens in the Word plugin.

See here for Word icon details.
