[Request] Help PR making some icons (photoshop skills necessary)

How about rotating the Assault icon 45 degrees down, so its horizontal and use that for Rifleman, while the current is for Grenadier?

Maybe we should keep the grenadier as simple as possible:

?

I reckon that implies that he has more grenades =P (which is half true..)

I used the 40mm grenade for the icon

Edit: Urgh Now I realise what I did wrong regarding the outlines.. I'm fixing them right now..

@tupla: I love your cross-rifles and the pilot icons, I've just been scratching my head for so long as to draw wings correctly..

Yeah, it's hard to make the wings look correct, always turns out looking more like a butterfly =)

If I may suggest, wouldn't it be better for officers to have two solid bars? Ie. Cpt.?

Post by **Chuc** » 2007-11-01 23:56

Right-o.. I pulled about 2 1/2 hours fixing up the outlines and alpha layers, could someone do a check on whether I did it correctly?

How about a new icon for civilians as well,so we don't spot them as commander stars?

Post by **Chuc** » 2007-11-02 00:06

Not a bad idea, I'll whip something up.

Added civilian to the zip file

Well for the pilot and crewman icons, I can't see a better alternative than tupla's air-badge and steering wheel, so I vote for his.

Edit: I drew up another potential pilot icon, one with aviators (zip file updated again), and changed the crewman wheel. Engineer icon also slightly changed

Civilian looks like an E.T., was thinking something like a running stick figure?

IMHO , crewman looks like a ball

, maybe change it to a car silhouette?

also , the icons for AA rifleman and AT rifleman looks very similar .

Outlaw: Like.. Cactuar?

Anyway, I did another marksman icon, to relate the kit to the sniper kit (which downplays the "sticking to the squad" aspect).

Sicaro: I'd rather not change the AA and LAT icons, if you just look at the stabilisation fins there's the difference =P Also with the crewman icon, I think the devs are pretty set on it being a steering wheel

Zip file updated again

Post by **Outlawz7** » 2007-11-02 03:11

Yep, the civi icon is neat.

I think, Crewman icon should resemble an armored vehicle, since steering wheels are also in jeeps

Post by **Chuc** » 2007-11-02 03:38

I simply can't make the armoured car work.. but I did come up with something pretty cool..

The funky crewman helmet, and the pilot's mask (makes him looks like a deceptacon)
