Icon Clearinghouse 1
What follows is a display of every icon I could find on this site for use in chess variants, plus several that I created myself by one means or another.
This listing is somewhat dynamic; while none will be deleted, more may be added at any time.
All of these are .png files, just for the sake of consistency.
Pieces
Where a piece has a "standardized," common, recommended, or original move, the XBetza notation for that move is given.
With each pair of pieces is the identifier for that pair. The actual filenames add w or b to the beginning, and .png to the end.
Orthodox Pieces
The six orthodox pieces (King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, and Pawn) have many variations. You might even find reason to use one set for the actual orthodox pieces, and select others for variant pieces.

Notes
The pieces that are my "original" work fall into three categories: compounds (splicing two pieces, superimposing one over another, or combining them in some other way), modifications (removing and/or adding parts), and originals (created from scratch).
