Custom Icons for Map Pins

Score + 15
You should be able to color code and use custom icons for map pins, like shown in this example below. Keep the icons simple, but also customizable, like the token stamps are.
I would like that. Perhaps even use tokens as pins.
This would be awesome to have!

I would like this, except, be able to use any art. Roll20 Marketplace already has a bunch of pre-existing Map Pin art pack sets, and those should be usable in this feature.  That way it can work for any setting (Western sign-posts, Spaceship HUD indicators, Fantasy cartography, etc) and the GM can decide for their game how to keep it simple looking. 
As this feature is in now, I would add some feedback: I tried to use the feature to put map pins on the Sector Map of my Rogue Trader Game, and it turned out that the Sector Map I was using was simply too large for the largest pin size to not look goofily small. Would it be possible to have the pin size adjustable like we can adjust tokens, instead of the size options currently? Also, even if not, awesome feature. Gonna have to restructure all my big maps now :D
wouldn't it be better to just make pin size adjust with zoom, so they grow larger as you zoom out instead of shrinking as you zoom out.  Kind of like how tooltips are the same size when you hover over a token regardless of it's size. At current I use tooltips to hold a pins name so when it gets to small to see text hovering over it still shows the name
