That hits the nail on the head so to speak.

Some animation cues would be good also, like little triangles rotating around the pin when you select it, or flashing color, or blah blah blah... That's just glitz and glamour, not necessary at all.

If there are really important storyline icons, I would strongly suggest that an animated icon be used, as opposed to a static icon. So if you used static pins for normal stuff, for the storyline missions you'd use a waving flag, or a flashing exclamation point, or a blah blah blah... The human eye is very good at catching movement.

I know how I'd like the model to look. Think you could pull this off?

Are people still making icons for the geoscape? I can't seem to find a definitive list anywhere.

I modified one of the old ones I liked to get a feel for the UFOpedia.

Changes:
1 - Scan lines are now easy (too easy?) to see.
2 - Alien eye art was supplemented with a stock photo.
3 - Typeface of "34,2 °C" was changed to checkbook.ttf.

I'll be using a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license if that's okay with everyone.

Mattn: Okay, I think I understand now what you mean about licenses. Technically, I don't think I'm using them, but if you really need it, I can use the CC-BY-SA license. That sound good?

Winter: Yes, I can try doing some UFOpedia images...

Trashman: Well, there are those even better than myself, but I aspire to one day mop the floor with those people get really really good.

Oh, and sorry Danimal, I didn't mean to hijack the thread in the middle of your question.

Thanks. I'm actually learning how to do 3D stuff, but to be honest, 2D will always be my forte.

Creative Commons. Not to pitch, but If you'd like to see more of my work, you can also visit the Freeorion project, as I regularly release stuff to them.

I made civilian concept art, though I don't know how useful that's going to be for you.

If you ever need a concept artist or some 2D stuff, I might be able to oblige.

You have a neat project going here, and I for one look forward to seeing how it turns out.
