Kanji pic request

[jeisan]

I'm modding my desktop and I was thinking instead of the lil windows logo on my start button id rather have something else, anything else. I'm thinking the kanji for "start" (or begin, go, commence, launch etc.) would be pretty cool. so if anyone would be so kind as to make a picture of the kanji, black and white, any pic format and any size bigger than 25x25 I would be most appreciative.

Thanks

Hmm, let's check EDICT ...

スタートボタン start button (in Windows 95)



OK, OK, how about
起動 【きどう】 (n,vs) startup; starting (e.g. engine, computer); (P)

It's an interesting idea!
There are some Kanji to "start" in Japanese, but I think "開始" is the proper in this case. "開始" is the most common word to "start".
"起動" and "始動" is the different Kanji to start. Both of Kanji are used for "start of machine". "start of machine with motor or engine" is "始動", "without motor or engine" is "起動".

I don't know what size you want exactly, and I wrote some sizes and figures. Plese tell me if there is not the size you want.

I was going to suggest 開始 as well. Isn't it used in 稼動開始 to mean the installation of a program or database ?

Thanks a lot to all of you, especially you nangi with all the different font sets and all. the size is fine i can shrink the image down to the required size so thats not a problem. just really needed a pic to work with. ill post what it looks like when im finished if anyone wants to see.

reference...

起動
始動

due to size limitations, and my thinking it would be only 1 charater instead of two i just had to cap the text, which barely made the limit by 1 pixel. anyhow here's my new start button. thanks again guys
