Thanks! I don't have any real instructions how to add more icons, but when you look very closely at the code near https://github.com/jnweiger/led-name-badge-ls32/blob/master/led-badge-11x44.py#L221 you may be able to recognize the graphics directly in the code.

Directly below that line is a 'ball' -- I'll reproduce the 0's and 1's representation stretched by factor of 3 and then once more with emphasizing the 1's: image

The second icon done in this style is 'happy' - a basic smiley. When stretched and emphasized, it looks like this: image

With 'happy' there is an additional column of gray comments next to each binary 0 and 1 pattern line. These comments hold exactly the same value, as the binary pattern, but written in hexadecimal notation, technically binary or hex values are interchangeable, they represent the same number from the computer's perspective. From a human perspective, the binary notation gives a visual hint how the icon looks.

All the other icons further down are written directly in this hex notation for compactness. But in hex, the bit patterns are not so easily visible.

Hope that helps... At least if someone wondered, why some icons are written in different notation, that is was meant for educational purposes :innocent:
