A while ago on this site people were asking about a special status for artists in their profiles. This got me thinking about who the artists, writers and other contributors were within the community, what their special status was and how we know who is you. This raised the question to ask members 'What Exactly Do U Do?'.
So in order to answer the question I have made little icons that show how someone contributes to the community. 'WEDUDs' I have called them (for What Exactly Do U Do) Wee Duds, or Duds for short. They are basically little icons that you can put in your signatures, or incorporate into DeviantArt IDs or if you run a forum, incorporate into the profiles on the forum.
The three I have done so far are the more obvious ones, but the idea of Duds are to highlight some less obvious contributions too, so I will be back with more later. So far we have icons for Artists, Writers and Game Designers... also in the pipeline are Morphers, Community Gurus, Community Whores, Soundsmiths and Talent Scouts.
The three I have done are below... to use them in your signature simply copy and past the link below it inbetween a pair of '[IMG]' '[/IMG]' tags.

"Community Whores" is funny.
The one for writers is hard to read though. Maybe a little darker shade of yellow, like a gold or orange, would work better? Or use black text instead of white?
Looks good, I like 'em.
