I'd highly recommend adding token logos next to their symbols.
It could easily be added as part of the application process for new tokens.
Having a visual cue other than just the symbol would make it easier to trade and use the site.

I like this idea. Unfortunately, it's somewhat hard to collect token logos. Do you know any sources for that?

If you can give me a list of token names in a plaintext format I can write a super quick scraper and grab the images from a reliable website. In the future new tokens should probably be required to submit a link to a logo in order to get listed.

Take a look at https://github.com/forkdelta/tokenbase :)

https://github.com/forkdelta/tokenbase/tree/master/tokens has all the listed tokens
and https://github.com/forkdelta/tokenbase/tree/master/scripts/ has some internal scripts we use to generate token description files (including token_info.py, a scraper)

Just a thought, pull from etherscan or have each token author make a PR into tokenbase
