Hello all

First I like to say STK 0.82 is super awesome and I realy impressed, well done. Since lot of things changed in 0.82 it's not a bad idea to change the speed gauge and icon, because of that I create new gauge and icon in Inkscape. Shadows need more work and I'm not completely sure about colors but we can disscussed, anyway feel free to write what you think. I hope you like it!

Hi this is a nice concept
But why is there sara ? Nothing wrong, but I'm a bit surprised, now she has a racing league ^^

Thanks Sam

No reason I just saw Sara is popular recently (Paradiso Island, space tower, screenshots, etc.) and of course she's hot!

I designed the character sara ^^.

For the gauge I have some suggestions. Maybe it's easier if you come on irc ? Chan: #stk network: freenode.net

Welcome Klassic Six

Well, why changing again the gauge and nitro icon?
Honestly i don't say that because i made them but the current gauge was made to stay simple, cartoon and clear, now it also have the rank insid \o/ this is perfect; adding complexity to it is not a good idea and vectorial draws don't look good in general. I have the feeling we are going back to 0.8 gauges.
(And i also like sara but this is way too much)

But Klassic Six i'm curious to hear why the current one is bad.

I think you should try to find ideas about a frame around weapon icons, because the game need it and we don't have one.

No the current gauge is not bad or anything, I'm just saying it's not a bad idea to change the gauge and why the simple one is better? Sorry but I can't see your point.

What weapon?

I think something similar to the race menu would work well as an icon:

Ah yes but this is not a weapon!? Agree, these black strokes are ugly. Ok I'll give it a try.

Here I go...

Hi, these icons look good, but they are not consistent with out other icons; our other icons have outlines and yours don't. So we should try to keep some consistency here - I don't think anyone here really wants to remake all icons

Why not?? I'll remake all other icons if my work accept by other contributors.

What I was trying to say is, I think the icon for the race setup menu would also make a good icon for the game.

Hello everyone

We definitely need a new icon for the game :-)

For the speed meter the current one is quite good. Maybe watching a side by side comparison would help.

Don't underestimate the amount of work to make a brand new set of icons. It takes a lot of time and patience.
I think for the moment the best way is to make one that has the same style than others.

If you want to make an icon for sara motor I can include it as a fictional company. We have already some airlines companies so why not an engine manufacturer

Are we talking about icons in "gui" folder? If correct I'll remake them plus creating new set of icons for skin (theme).

You said the current one is good so what's the point?

He's talking about another ficitional company for STK's world. In this case, Sara Motors. Co.
