Why creating a plugin to display plugins icons?

• Icons can help you understand what a plugin is about.
• Icons help you identify plugins quickier
• Icons make that plugins list page (wp-admin/plugins.php) something less boring, right?
• Almost every WordPress plugin on wp.org already has its own Icon / Banner. Why not to use it inside WordPress dashboard?

How does it work?

• This plugin will create a new column on plugins list page on admin. This column will display icons for plugins.

Where do the icons come from?

• They come from wordpress.org. The icons and banners authors choose for their plugins on wordpress.org will be used by this plugin. If a plugin doesn’t have an icon, its banner will be used instead
