Serverlist icons
 

Now that the thread is closed, unfortunately, I'm gonna post this here. No Stefan, I dont like those icons :/ I would rather see some better lookin, actually pixeled icons that would describe the theme of the server. Because the dev server one was pretty easy to recreate, I just did this one in around 3 minutes to show you what I think would look good.

The under construction servers should more have something medieval looking, may be some hammer and wood or so

Maybe a pickaxe and a hammer. :)

Well add this one for now until the hammer and wood or whatever gets added :).

What is the Zone icon suppose to be?

looks like spaceships..

The new icons are very hard to see...and don't look good at all.

Maybe a Soviet flag!

Communist :P

N-Pulse Icon looks like Santa lol

I wonder why :asleep:

Good idea comrade.

I don't know because Santa wouldn't be caught dead there

Well, I liked the idea, so I quickly recreated it in the style I would like to see it. I can try to make some under construction looking icon ;o

UC?
Anvil and hammer.

Jeez
 

JEEZ they closed the other thread about those icons, So when I found this thread I was kind of happy to give my opinion :D To be honest those new icon are so UGLY!!!! I prefer to have the blue one lol, please change it back ;D

The blue style you mean?

what the **** at Era's icon?

looks like some hippy in camouflage holding a stick or something

Since when are people allowed to recreate a closed thread?
I suppose I have to leave it open, since Stefan is replying to it.

As for the icons, I like them, except for the N-Pulse one....Santa?

You better be kidding Moonie. This is the "Your opinion" forum, and I'm leaving my opinion to an element of the game. I'm not recreating anything.

Crow is right, this isn't exactly the same as the thread that was closed. Stefan closed the thread for the news update for the serverlist. Crow made an opinion thread for his opinion on the icons for such an update.

The N-Pulse was more meant to be a wizard, we can eventually use a different wizard graphic for it.

Ok, cool

No, I wasn't kidding, but I see that the thread wasn't closed for anything bad, so I apologize, should have checked first. Just the way you worded your thread made me think it was closed for something bad.

Yea, I got it...my bad.

I still like the icons. Change is good sometimes. :)

I am glad that there is change, yes but these icons need some changing too ^^

When i looked at the icons for hosted tab quickly they looked at some Ice Lollies untill i seen this thread and looked at the graphic Crow made.

What part of NP has a wizard :confused:

Moonie not closing a thread =O <3 Change is happening before us right now, lol, just playing Moonie, Icons are ok but they seem a tad pixelated...

Does a wizard have anything to do with N-Pulse?

A Chinese man relates to Delteria how?

Era's guy looks like a Mexican guerrilla soldier.

Zone has a space ship. Do you honestly ever get to use a space ship on Zone?

I'd like them a lot more if that reflected the server in some way.

Just wanted to say I would rather have the thread Stefan posted to discuss it ;P

Well, maybe the icons dont really have to be characters, or cut out off an image of the server. Maybe it could just be a single letter, first of the servername or something, decorated nicely.

I think it should be up to the Manager/Owner to come up with an icon, since they know best what the playerworld is about.

At least I can actually tell what Crow's graphic looks like.

I have updated the icon for npulse

Planned

Gandalf the Grey holding a broom....hehe. Should have gotten a nice looking EC as the icon....events are all that N-Pulse has now.

It looks like an old guy who hasnt shaved for a while that OBVIOUSLY likes the color silver with a stick ready to beat you up to a pulp.

From an artistic and production stand-point, they're not really clean. Icons of that size should be dealt with on a dedicated level, not just resized images. Icons are meant to be readable, without readability they completely lose their purpose. These images easily lose contrast battles with their background(which can change depending on profiles, so best bet is to choose mid-level colors), and have a hard time defining themselves.
This also goes along with what everyone else is saying that they don't represent their servers. What's the point of an icon if it's not representative?

Thats why I used an outline when I recreated the u/c one ;o

For those of you who do not like the icons, and can pixel, why don't you make some? Maybe Stefan will like some of them, and use them?

Maybe avid players, and/or staff of the playerworlds can give ideas of what the icons can be, since they play/work there a lot, and know what the playerworld is about?

And, Twinny...I agree with what you said about N-Pulse having a coin or something having to do with events for their icon, since it seems to be an event server now.

The icons before were perfect
