I agree that making this easier to customize is a good thing -- thanks 
for adding this to Launchpad.  However, I don't think we should use the 
turtle for both images by default -- we found this a real source of 
confusion in training because the turtle so clearly implies slow 
delivery and doesn't make sense for items that are being put on the hold 
shelf.

We also found that the turtle image itself to be a problem, since it so 
clearly implies that delivery is always slow and that's not the message 
we want to have circ staff see many times a day.  We had discussions 
about what images to use here, the most popular suggestion being a 
speedy-looking delivery truck, but decided that just having the big bold 
words was simple and clear.
