Symbols for the geoscape

[sitters]

OK People we need ideas for new symbols for the geoscape.



This is one I make before.
We need symbols for alien crash, terror missions, basis symbols etc..

If winter agreed with your idea, I model and texture the stuff, then we have fast ( i hope ) the new symbols.

Think about it, that it is for the geoscape.
So not to much detailed, because it get lost with the scaling.

Help us out guys.

Current list:

Harvesting/Terror missions:
Icon as above, flag printed with a single bloodied Kerrblade.

UFO crash missions:
Crashed partly-buried UFO of appropriate type with bits of the UFO strewn about the crash site.

UFO landing missions:
Landed UFO of appropriate type.

Storyline missions:
Icon as above, black flag with yellow sunburst.

Generic missions:
Icon as above, flag printed with alien face from b_geobuttons.tga in base/pics/menu

Do you like this face for the flag winter ?
I cant see it very well on the button.




And what colors of the arrows ( all the arrow have the same UV ),
and the ring ?

I think generally a skull of some sort would make it more than obvious what the terror symbol stands for

I like the image, but I don't think it looks quite enough like our Tamans. Did you draw that, sitters?

The evil smile also doesn't really fit . . . A neutral expression would be more appropriate.

The arrow colours wouldn't be very important, they should just be neutral. White or blue, possibly yellow. Definitely not green or red.

I understand you want the face of an Taman, I dint recognize the face on the button
I make an Taman.

And Yea, I draw with an tablet and photo shop if it is organic stuff.
But not much, i am not  very good in it ( very much layers and try outs, before I am happy with the result ).

you created that yourself, too? nice work sitters - not only 3d artists, but even 2d artists - good to know :-D

sitters have a look here - there's a quick sketch of the taman
maybe that can help you to make some minor corrections to the head

No I am not an artist, just an hobbyist.

Here my best shot for the face on the flag.

[Winter]

I like it, it's good. I'd be happy to see that on the flag.

I make the head an little bit longer, I think it is better.

That makes the head look a bit too cone-shaped, I think. It looks wrong somehow. I preferred the other one.

OK here we have the symbol, I have used the old one with the smaller head.

If you like it winter I make the link.

i don't know but i think the flag could be a little bit bigger - i have to see this in game to tell you more, so please export as a test. i think the image and the flag aren't very well visible when they are scaled down - but again, we have to see this on geoscape. i will post a screenshot as soon as i have the md2 - thanks again
