Tech Note: Iconic Redesign

The icons for rating front page articles, comments, and spinoff links have been redesigned for a more consistent (yet colorful!) look.

And of course, once I started tweaking the rating buttons in Fireworks, I had to redesign the Favorites and Report icons as well, to make them match the style.

Be warned: some readers have reported a sudden desire for gumdrops upon seeing the new icons.
