Suggestion about icons

[Dude]

I have a hard time reading these icons and telling the differenct

http://www.hundredbling.net/images/statusicon/forum_new.gif vs http://www.hundredbling.net/images/statusicon/forum_old.gif

to me they look a lot alike, I would like to see if anyone could change the first one to something a little more noticable than that tiny smear of orange, with the paper a little whiter.

I suppose the other one could be more black, that might work too?
any way change one or the other to make them more different, try not to change the size of the file too much.

also, I have trouble with some of these
