Any ideas for what I should use as icons?

I made a Chicago Blackhawk one before, so I kind of know how to do it

Maybe I'm an idiot, maybe your being too vague, but I have not clue what the heck your talking about.

Do you mean like a background for your PS3 front end?

Yeah, the XMB. I can change most of the icons and the background

@Steve- I think he is talking about creating his own PS3 theme. If you don't have a PS3, the theme, is basically like the background of the menu. I may be confused with something else though.

@Bearhawk- Make a retro tribute to like one system like NES. Use iconic characters from the NES as icons.

An update:
Looks cool, does each icon represent agame?

What do you mean exactly? Each icon is from a different NES game if that's what you mean.

They're all replacing the icons of the XMB.

I mean does it launch an application.

Kind of. While it does launch some applications, it's more for navigating to the different options you have on the PS3 like settings, photo and music files, managing friends and messages, etc.
