Pixel Joint Forum: icon Help

Message

   Hey everyone!
 So I'm workin' on some icons for my game and I have this big problem. I have to create a 32x32 pixels 256 colors icon that represents a dump. I created 3 versions but first, I'm not entirely satisfied with 'hem and second, my partners don't find them clear enough (well, the icons aren't) or they just don't like them. So, I come before you seeking advices on what to do!  
 Any ideas on how I could improve what I have or maybe another way to represent a dump as an icon?

	i think they all portray a dump, i think the first sign is better, but the picture is quite clear for its size.
	Snark, we love yuu.

	Hey guys! Hmmm... Thanks alot! I must say that the visibility is better with the gama correction. I'll work with that! Well, if the first sign is clear enough, I'll use this one. Thanks for the help guys! Guert
