it looks like a steel ball, with a bit of imagination. well, i suggest you to represent diverse aplications and shorcuts in your desktop, for example, the + icon could be Internet Explorer, the second one could be My Documents and the third one could be the Recicle Bin, empty of course. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

This: :)
The Interface-Icons for my WIP shooter. From the left to the right: Icon for HP, Icon for Ammo, Icon for Energy (Gostenergy, i guess the Icon is perfect for it). What do You think? It`s a bit small but that is intended and necessary cause the screen is small and filled with enemys and so on ;) Hope you like it Is this better? http://imageshack.us">

I'd try and give it a tail, like a ghost, or add an eye. Just to make it look ghostlike. ------------- REMOVED BY ENSELLITIS FOR BEING WAY TOO DAMN BIG |

Chess, the thing with isolated icons like that is that is almost impossible to let you know if they work or not. Maybe if you throw a quick mockup, then they can be seen and judged in its environment. Sometimes the UI is so self explanatory that these type of icons don't really have to be much at all. For all we know these are perfect for your game. Show us how 'busy' you say it is. Just the same my c+c:, I like all 3 individually but they don't appear to be a set that matches. ------------- |
