Civgroups icon for the Deity C3DG?

[Shiber]

It's just a decorative thing, but do we want to design ourselves a civgroups icon? Something that has to do with our civ choice perhaps, or with the difficulty level?

[Octavian X]

Perhaps we could place an ax in the backround of a logo, with 'C3 DG II imposed on top.

[GodKing]

Go for it shiber!!

[Aro]

Yeah, go for it!

[Shiber]

Okay, I've made some lame attempts to start up the discussion.
This, by no means, should be considered as a sketch for a final. First, there's not enough content, just an axe with all kinds of effects. We'd probably want to add another object to this icon (a sickle, perhaps? ).
Anyway, I started with this axe icon from Diablo I.

[Shiber]

Ooh! A misty background! Or something!

[Shiber]

Did anyone order lightning?

[Shiber]

Ooh! A shiny thing! On the tip of the axe! Sorta!

Note: if you concentrate enough on the shiny dot, you'd probably go blind in a few days or something. I dunno.

This thread is doing wonders to my postcount.

[GodKing]

I'll say.... I do like it. Is it small enough though?

[Shiber]

Double the size, actually
The ones I posted are 32x32, icons should be 16x16.

[Shiber]

Here's how the pics look, resized to 16x16.

Terrible, aren't they?
Obviously we're gonna have to get rid of all the special effects and go for simple geometry, like the ISDG Apolyton Team civgroup icon or the icons for the PTWDG teams.

[Shiber]

Better attach the pic when I want other people to see it too.

[GodKing]

Shiber .... keep the lightning, change the background to a blood red, and change the axe to a solid black with white/gray/silver highlight. I bet you it will look good in the reduced size. Clear enough to tell what it is anyways.

Just an idea.

[Panzer32]

I like the reduced blue lightning ones.
