Wanted: research category icons

(1/3) > >>

BTAxis:
In order to spice up the research screen and to make it easier for the player to decide what research topic he wants to research next, we'd like some small icons for the research topics. The research topics can be categorized by the section of the UFOpaedia they belong in. Each of these categories should have one icon associated with it, and this icon is used for all research topics that belong to that category.

The icons should be 16x16, and should be easily distinguishable.

These are the categories in the UFOpaedia:

* Background (articles on the story of UFO:AI prior to the game's start)
* Aircraft (includes UFOs and PHALANX craft)
* Base Facilities (reports about PHALANX base facilities)
* Research Reports (general research that does not fall into any other category)
* Equipment (human weapons, devices and armour)
* Alien Artifacts (alien weapons, devices and armour)
* Autopsies & Observation (knowledge gained from examining aliens, both dead and alive)
* The Alien Threat (storyline-related research)

Human Equipment

Alien Equipment (I'm not real happy with this attempt at making a Kerrblade in 16 pixels, but it's the best I got out of about 12 attempts...)

Autopsies and observation

The Alien Threat  (You got me on this one... the Nuclear option as the final last defense seemed appropriate)

I have crisper images then these in bmp format, I need to convert to png (jpg is losing to much), just didn't get a chance and wanted a first glance opinion on them.

I like some of those, and we can use them as placeholders, but I'm going to take a stab at making a few myself as soon as I get my hands on a GIMP-capable machine again. Should be sometime next week or the week after. I'll try and brush up the whole lot as well.

For some feedback: pink is not the best background colour, and the kerrblade is not the best iconic item choice. Try a plasma weapon, or just a generic green-glowy item.

Winter

Fair nuff. Used PNG and cleaned 'em up a hair (and changed the alien one...)

(And BAH!... BBCode can't stretch the image to see it better.)

BTAxis:
About the alien one, can you try making it a little "grey" head? I think that fits a lot better than a little stick figure.
