Title
New / Custom Entry Security Icons
Short, concise description of the idea
Updating or adding an option to customize the icons used for friends-only, custom security, and private entries.
Full description of the idea
The icons used now:
http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/icon_protected.gifhttp://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/icon_groups.gifhttp://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/icon_private.gif are, in my opinion, clunky and outdated looking. I would like to see them either updated to newer, better looking versions, and / or have the option added to upload your own (possibly a feature for those with Plus accounts and above).
A preview of this suggestion can be seen here:

An ordered list of benefits
- Uniform icons make the page look alot smoother, and they should stand out less than the icons currently in use do.
An ordered list of problems/issues involved
- The height of the images will have to closely match the font size used in the summary and entry information.
