New icons for armor and engine at vehicle construction screen

It would be nice, if the icons for armor and engines would not look the same. So you can check faster, if there is a better armor than the currently deployed is available.

So i made some icons for the armor (of course can be improved). For the engines i'm not skilled enough :-)

Plain:

Composite:

Reactive:

Reflective:

Regenerative:

Absorbant:

 

Those look actually very good and out of ordinary.

Simple and good. That's what I like.

(Though you could use a bit more shades of color in the armors and effects in them but that's just making them better and they are enough good already.)

 

Wowow, very good job. What Weedy said, simple, yet somewhat elegant.
+thumbs

 

cool. =] They also help show what they can do.

 

engines will me much harder to do this for

 

Those look awesome :D
If you're gonna add color, make regen green :D

 

bravo

.

 

Composite looks like an oreo

 

Yea this basically wins. I hate buying a plain armor tank and then finding out when I go to defuse a mine with it.

 

Looks great. This is pretty much how they should look like. Simple but easy to distinguish.

 

The black is a bit hard to see, though. I would make it a different color for each -- a dark color (it shouldn't be too glaring), but subtly different, like green for the cross on regen, etc.

 

I made them not to colorful, so that they fit to the other icons.
Adding some color will be very easy for the one, who actually adds the icons to the game.

 

little known fact: composite actually IS made of oreos. luckily the weapons are just really weak, even up to the HIT missile which as we all know stands for "hot indian tea" and just splashes tea everywhere and all the oreo tanks go soggy

 

I swear, someones gonna siggy this

 

omg, an idea with a solution to the problem that doesn't need anything else to be implemented other than some minor dev support >_>

This shouldn't be in the suggestion forum, move it to a locked forums called "WIN!"

 

Agreed. Win is the only way to describe this. Now go make some for engines and add green to the regen one

 

So should I change the icon for composite to:

 

... and here regenerative with a little bit of green:

 

This all reminds me of the icons I did some time ago:

So it seems, that I am not the first one, who didn't like the old icons.

But why are there still the old icons, which are looking all the same?

Forgotten or is just no one responsible for this?
