Symbols for the geoscape

Those are from Josh's concept and are probably supposed to resemble the scout/fighter UFO designs.
I like their "alien symbol" look. But of course we can add some lines to make them look less abstract:



And thinking of it, when I look at the Geoscape and what has been proposed so far, I believe it would look best to have uniform silver pins (like Ghostas first) sticking in places, with those symbols on circular/square/triangular colored heads.


P.S.: Something like this.



The "code" being
Pin -> mission / temporal marker
Shade of orange -> alien activity
Triangle -> assault (may include installation attacks)
Kerrblade symbol -> terror site



Again, this is photoshopped.
If you would like to try the models in-game, I'd be glad if someone could make them.

Winter:
Vio, are you still up for contributing these icons? We'll need a few more designs for the full geoscape suite.

Winter

Kildor:
Winter, what do you think about this icons (terror site and alienbase):

Vio:
I'm back.

What do you need?
Once we agree on a concept, I'm glad to help.

Winter:
Kildor: For bases (PHALANX and alien) we were planning to use 3d icons, and I think Vio's ones are our best bet for the mission icons. The icons you've got are also quite indistinct, I can't make out anything about them, they're just blurs.

Vio: We need working icons for all types of missions. I like your current suite, but we still need one more, Terror mission with human enemies
Also, I prefer the exclamation mark icon for storyline missions. If you could get all of that ready to put into the game, I'd really appreciate it.

Regards,
Winter
