Okay, that didn't turn out as nice as I'd expected. Scratch the 'alien head' idea.

We just need something symbolic of alien activity. Any ideas? Maybe we could put an alien face on your flag instead, such as the alien face on the new UFOpaedia icon (this might be just the right size, in fact).

Ideas for the 'terror mission' icon:
Flag with a bloodied Kerrblade.

UFO crash site icon:
Some form of crashed UFO. Scout or Fighter would be best.

Also, is it possible to have animated icons, such as smoke streaming from the UFO crash site or PHALANX radar dishes turning?

Regards,
Winter

i like the flag better, too - and i will animate it when you are done - a little waving on geoscape would be cool, too

just to remind you:
we already have crashed ufo models:

Maybe this one,
the rings are not textured yet.

That UFO doesn't really look crashed, just partly buried. Some chunks broken off the UFO lying around would help.

I think it would be good to 'see' the crash in the textures, too... splashed mud /sand/earth, black burnt parts or maybe the "green lights switched off" (if they are supposed to be lights).

That really sounds cool... or maybe two Kerrblades crossed...

If these are geoscape icons, as I understood them to be, that would get lost in size, no?

Yea I think you right, that's why it must be symbols and not miniature worlds all that detail gets lost and have no use at all.

Well if those fine tentacle arms are visible it will be visible if half of it is smeared with mud ... or stuck in a small heap or so...
