I didn't. It's a modified public domain pic.

For globe pic see above.

How's this?

I meant to say I like it, it's a good image and we could use it.

Regards,
Winter

Sorry, but that (first pic on previous page) image doesn`t have any relations to in-game globe. Give full screenshot (1024x768, with gui and don`t zoom in).

If you have a specific idea just put the symbols in, they are all there.
Besides, that last part just sounded like an order. Two, in fact. And that's probably the worst way of making me do anything.

@Winter
Ok, but I have little experience in modelling. If anybody could do the pins, I will make proper textures.

You are able to draw anything. But don`t forget (and this is advice) to check how it will be in real situation, in the real game. Because your symbols are big, and do not correctly scaling. Look to my screenshot, I`ve tried to make current model with your synbol (kerrblade).

What dimesions should that pins have? 20x20px? 200x200? how should they look on different resolutions? This is questions for you, as creator of the symbols.

I agree, the Kerrblade silhouette (not mine, btw) has too much detail for a small symbol.

Maybe we should use an alien fist/claw after all, creating a similar yet distinct look for alien terror.
P.S.: Something like this (quick sketch) - or just the hands without the blood background.

I like it, so as far as I'm concerned we should use it.
