Abandoned Depot

In japan, we usually paste a stamp on the upper left side of an envelope when we post a real mail. I guess that is not common in the world. It should be on the upper right. I suppose that relates the direction of writing. We use vertical writing when we write in the formal/old style. In this way, letters go top to bottom in a line, then lines go right to left. The Right side is the beginning of the sentence, and the left side is the end. Therefore pasting stamps on the left side seems to be reasonable.

The mail icon which I made for the skin imformed in the previous post has a left side stamp. I did that without thinking.

The icons were made with GIMP and Inkscape. Needless to say, both of them are open source projects and very useful applications. Today, GIMP became a mature reliable application. On the other, Inkscape is making dramatic progress. It improves day by day. I recommend Inkscape to edit SVG.

At the time I made the icons for earlier version of my skin ( about two years ago ), I mainly used GIMP. But this time, almost all processes have been done with Inkscape. I uploaded the SVG file here. You can modify and change icons whichever you want, especially the location of the stamp that may annoy you...
