Hi,

I have just added a spot on the wiki for user contributed symbols to go:

http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/twiki/bin/view/GRASS/IconSymbols

Linked from the GRASS 6 add-ons page. Just make yourself a wiki account
and go for it!

Maybe easier:
  $GISBASE/etc/symbol/custom/



Also as a general interest item, I found some hidden wiki-spam lurking
at the bottom of the main wiki page. Interesting as this parasite code
was designed to be non-visible to the reader.. survival tactics.


[shop  text/plain (460 bytes)]
VERSION 1.0
BOX -1 -1 1 1
END
POLYGON
  RING
    LINE

Note the "END" is not needed after the BOX instruction. That doesn't draw 
a box, it sets up the bounding box which is used for icon scaling.
