They're names should obviously be associated with the genres they're listed in.

For example: for the orchestral genre, the name should be something like "symphonia" or something.

Well, i got to hand it to him... This is a really great idea! But, i believe you'll be in need for good quality vectors of the ponies aswell...

Concord makes an excellent point. Drafts and sketches are great to show your ideas, but hand-drawing them and then designing them on the computer are two different things. What looks good on paper doesn't mean it'll look good on screen and vice-versa. Once it goes to the computer, vector files are mandatory in order to make him or her appear big or small and not diminish the resolution's quality, something fixed raster files do.

Wow, your project's getting a lot of support! Maybe one day, Peter, these OC genreponies will become iconic symbols in brony lore.

Yes genre ponies is definitely a good idea! And this will also make us go away from cliches like Octavia/Scratch.

The genre rock should have a pony made of stone.

I suggested a design for a more Techno/Dubstep-esque pony called Soundwave to Ray. I suggest others provide design idea's to assist him in his efforts, since there are so many different Genre's. And while this may seem "low" on the list of priorities, names should be created for each one to give them an identity, we cant just go around calling them Ska Pony or Country Pony or Dubstep Pony :/

Will people be able to put their music under creative commons license? And have you talked to living tombstone and other famous artists about signing up?

My OC's Name is subhoofer. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself but I think that'd be a sick name for one of the electronic genre ponies.

You should make the Metal pony have a long black mane, corpse paint and batwings while also weilding a Warbeast guitar =P

I know I'm coming in a bit late for discussion, but will you be allowing users and fans to submit designs that you may possibly use, or is there a specific team assigned to do this project?
