personal options symbol

[crazygamer]

i'm making a button for personal options, but i won't be able to fit any words on it because it's so small...so, can anyone think of a small picture i could put on the button so that the user would have some clue as to where the button goes, and when he/she rolls over it, there will be a little popup that tells them that this is personal options

a lil pencil......one of those lil guy with a circle for a head and a rounded rectangle body, the letter "o", an exclamation point, how big is the button??

[crazygamer]

61(w) x 17(h)...but even if i CAN fit a word...i don't want it on there!

[DDD]

have 2 of those lil guys I described but have one like a bright color like red and the other one grey

[crazygamer]

um...can you do a quick pic...i don't entirely get it..with the letter "o" and exclamation point...what's that all about?

[DDD]

those are just something to draw attention to the button, "O" for "options". Exclamation point lets the user know action is required. Like if you see a sign with an exclamation point on it you know there is something going on there.

oooohhhhhhh....ok...well i already made a little sign with a red and gray person on it...i guess i'll put an exclamation point on top of it

[DDD]

the red and gray person thingy would be enoough you just want to give the user something to associate the option page with I am guessing? So just a lil something but not too much is sufficient. Mine were just ideas you do not have to use those.

[crazygamer]

alright...well ya i'm gonna keep the little people...they're cool :)

a wrench? :)

[ or better yet a wrench wif lil ppl on it! Like ppl+wrench=personal wrench=personal options ]

[crazygamer]

very good idea...i'm sure if i'll be able to put ppl on it...because of size limitations...but a wrench shall make an appearance on the button!:)
