I tried to keep the colour scheme the same but not sure if it looks better or worse so here are some test images.

T in Orange:

T in White:

So, what do you think?

There is some great work here.
I would so use this as my tremulous icon, if I had any links...

Im trying the tremulous logo T, anyone have any idea what font it uses? I can always trace it but it would be easier and better to have the font.


DASPRiD should know, after all he made the website.

That won't look good in the long run. The icon is for tremulous, not for MOTY


Ur, that was meant as a joke  :D

Aye, play a bit with it. Not sure if the outline should completely go; maybe the lighter red from the outer areas.

I meant if I had a link to launch tremulous on my desktop or whatever.
Also, why do you keep telling him to change the T?
the SVG is right there, play with it yourself.

Feel free to change the icon all you want, I cant really take any credit or say you cant because i just rendered it and edited it to me full circle and simple color (since the opacity wasn't 100% in game)

Will make a boosted version now with the original Lightning Bolt (seems the other person changed the color for the lightning bolt when he made it boosted)


Maybe it can be THE icon for 1.2  :eek:

SVG = Saleable Vector Graphic
The images are defined as a series of Bizer's , so the image is infinitely saleable.
Inkscape is a great and free program to edit them

The difference between boosted and non-boosted doesn't seem that big...
Maybe the outer bits need to be brighter...

I've blurred the outer ring of fire a bit, though im not sure that it looks so good.

boosted & wallwalking both is best (poisonous headbite, ftw!)
would be "brighter"
borderless "T" looks better
64 X 64 looks about right for Mac dock
actually looks like an innocuous program icon
add minor bit of drop shadow to give depth?

Rockzors, IMO. There appears to be a little corner of the lighting bolt above and below the T which is a bit annoying but apart from that let's make a vote for it to be included in 1.2 :-)

How about this, I resized the lightening bolt so it is the same height as the T

Kaleo, I like that icon but maybe you should line up the circle and the spikes more closely.

Nice, the image looks good but the svg isn't so sharp. Really gotta work out a way to get the spikes more spiky. All these icons including mine seem to have blunt edges...

Here is a modified version of durands:


That's a lot better, I appreciate that you gave it some depth with the dropshadow. That's a big improvement over the flat graphic, which I think would look out of place on today's desktops. The alien/human dynamic comes out well in this icon.

I have two suggestions. First, find another colour for the "T", one that contrasts well with the red and blue sides of the icon, without clashing. Second, and this may be argued succesfully against, see if you can add some depth to the shapes by employing gradients to give it a more 3D feeling. Of course, this would make the icon look less like the HUD icons, but it would make it fit in more with the contemporary style of icons that are found on most desktops.

I tried experimenting with shadows as well.



What do you think?

Kaleo, are you using svg's for that?

IMO you should remove the glass effect around the circle (on the gray).

Seconded. Also, I find it a bit too strong... somehow like it was disguising the T (Maybe the T could break through somehow). Also what TriedtoDestroyMetal has said sounds interesting. It might make the half alien/half human icon become the best of what we've seen so far.

Before Dave tells me to shut up or put up again  :wink:  I'll also say thanks for working on this stuff and being so patient with all of our suggestions!
