I need help finding 1 icon! [Closed]
OK, people; I'm in desperate need of help. I'm currently working on a design for a website and have used the grey medium sized icons from http://www.iconbuffet.com/freedelivery/packages/mallow-buzz.
My problem is I now need one for archived news.
Can anyone think of an icon in a different set that reminds you of these and that could symbolise archived news? Alternatively convince me that one from mallow can be altered to achieve my goal.
Appreciate all help on this.

you could use the 'tag' icon for archived content, as in: put in a box, tagged and locked away.

I dont think that is obvious enough, It is a shopping cart who have news about upcoming product launches and licenses they have won.
@ Liquix no need to send me deliveries yet no stamps until 20th of may. I want it to be grey so mallow 2 is not right for this anyway.

What are you using for news as opposed to archived news?

At the top of the news I have "Latest Product news RSS Feed" with the small rss feed image.

How about Archived News and the key?

Oh man that's nice. To be honest, I would just leave the text and not bother with an icon. The graphics on there are too good to distract the eye with small icons. Don't clutter it, it isn't needed.

I would either use the 'tag' icon, or no icon at all.

OK, thanks; If you say that I'll skip it. Especially since I still have more to put on there. The client want everything apart from the kitchen sink on the front page.
I removed the link for future posters.

Great looking site! Maybe a subtle spiderweb overlay on the rss feed image to symbolize the archive, kind of like spiderwebs in the attic? Or like JB said, just leave the text if nothing else comes to mind.

I actually like the idea of the cobwebbed rss icon, I will play around and see what i can come up with. It might become to cluttered.
