    Hey,

    Having seen the cool Penny Arcade icons (and the JO Katarn) that are currently being sported, I thought it might be worth canvassing opinion on whether we (teh g4m3rs) should perhaps submit a few more.

    I quickly threw these together as a rough indication of the sort of thing I'm talking about. These are not final designs, merely rough concepts.

    [image=http://www.hansen.net.nz/images/icons1.jpg] [image=http://www.hansen.net.nz/images/icons2.jpg]

    Is it worth fixing any of the above up & submitting them to Lord Bane for his consideration?

    If anyone else interested in contributing ideas, rough icons or finished icons?

    If so, post 'em here!

    While it's unlikely I'll give up my beloved TC-14, I must say I love the pink & blue retrogaming Atari 2600 AT-AT one. :D

    Just read this in the Icon Submission Thread

    PreacherBoy
    These are direct from TFN Staff (me!), as will other icons that will fill the Games icon section.



    Sorry, I had no idea you were actually working on games icons yourself PB. If this thread is in anyway stepping on your toes or interfering with your plans, please lock it up and we'll pretend it never happened.

    Sounds like a plan to me. I'm in one of those stages at the moment where I fancied an icon. A games one would be nice.

    I wish I could lock it up. There are many guidelines that you sort of ignored on the icons, but they were a good idea. Tell you what, we'll talk about what icons we should add, you can send me the raw images, and I can make the icons.

    :)

    They were never inteded to BE our icons PreacherBoy, just a visual example of the sort of thing I was thinking of.

    Perhaps the Gamers here should discuss what icons they'd like to see for themselves, find raw screenshots or other images and as you suggest, and forward them to you for the final build or link them to this thread.

    I know you're trying to build closer links between this forum and www.theforce.net/games/. By asking what the forum users want in game icons would seem to be a step in the right direction.

    Yeah, but you pretty much ignored the standards that we have at the JC for Icons. Let's work on this together for the meantime; you send me the raw images and ideas and I will make images of them. You can take requests from other users for the time being.

    For now I'll only accept immediately recognizable LucasArts game icons, mainly from screenshots of characters.

    :_| But .. they were never, ever, ever intended to be submitted. They were just a bit of slap together visual reference for my post.

    [sigh] That's because I haven't made any icons for submission or consideration.

    Those little images above were merely props to illustrate my point for those of us who have a poor sense of imagination.

    They're NOT icons for this forum.

    I think there are some good Indy icons on the Infernal CD rom.

    Y'know, some of the LEC Windows Icons they use as desktop shortcuts to launch their games would be pretty easy to convert.
