(2D)-Artist(s) needed for icons regarding networking lobby

[tavariz91]

I'm sorry to tell you that I cannot access to your demands :
I have already tried to delete the network lines, and I -really- didn't like it, it looked just awful IMHO. I don't want to make something that I don't like, do you?

Add the earth to each icon: why? Because without it, they look totally empty around them, or "not finished". Look here: http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4541#p47647. I could eventually turn or give a bigger size to some elements, (notif button for example), but they look empty then. Obviously I cannot add so much details to a closed letter...
Another reason is that we are on online play screen, and a same basis for every icon seems to me a good idea.

About tux with his cap; I really really like it. You might like or not, but feel free to give constructive proposals. I mean, something else than simply removing what you don't like.
I won't bring a cap-only icon because:
Imagine I make it; someone else (X) says he prefers a green cap, I make it, then Y wants me to add a shadow, then you say that you prefer the red one, then 3 people (Z,A and B) make a petition to have a head in the cap, and my minds blews up because I liked the starting point.
Another thing (ok it's a joke): someone very important (in the racing world) uses this cap, so Tux (who is very important in STK and to me) must do the same.

Proof here:

"I really like my super cap!"

@tavariz91
Without, the original svg is a impossible task to do. Totoplus62, can you give me the svg or a way to contact the author?

I don't think you icon look unfinished. But, if you want polish it, don't add element, polish the icon itself. In any case, the earth look worse than anything for me.

For the cap, okay you won't change it yourself. Can you give your svg than I can do the change?

[tavariz91]

I am not at home for now, but you can find the earth svg on openclipart.org.
Totoplus worked on a png made on the basis of ths svg (I already asked him). I will do a svg earth identical to what we have now later


Edit: http://openclipart.org/detail/35389/tan ... rszawianka for the original globe

My svg file for tux with his cap and all other sources for the buttons are added here.

As the zip is quite big, I'm not sure how much time it will stay here. For the profile button, go to the "profile" folder

Your version of the story mode icon (softer borders, not the blue one though) is committed to the main trunk in commit 13041 : http://sourceforge.net/p/supertuxkart/code/13041/

Here's how it looks on my current branch, together with the updated online- and addon-icon :

(You can check out my branch if you want, it currently allows you to register, sign in and sign out. It also gives you a way to follow my work more closely if you want to.) Notice that I don't use the blue globe. From the moment it's resized it gets crappy, especially the white network lines. Also the black outlines inside just don't fit the blue globe.

In a few hours I'll be posting 2 new screenshots where you'll see the online screen with some of your icons, and where you can clearly see what I expect from the other wanted icons. (I'll give some extra explanation, don't worry )

[tavariz91]

Waiting for you, I have time on saturday

[Uni]

As you see I use the bottom right icons as buttons in the login screen too. So I'd like matching icons for my buttons and bottom right icons ^^

I'll update if I have new actions

[tavariz91]

Sorry for my absence,
I don't have time for now (making a service of civil protection), but I have an idea for it
I'll be back on sunday.

What are the differences between "sign out" an "close" buttons? Are they just one button?

All the icons used now, are just placeholders. I'm not sure how an icon should present "sign out" or "cancel", but I do believe they should be different. And please, take your time, sunday is just fine by me I've got 10 more weeks left to finish my project

[tavariz91]

Here is a new signout or maybe cancel button proposal:



(Note: It's based on the original svg main_quit button by yekcim)

They already exist: http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4541&start=25#p47933

I don't want the oxygen letters, because they are too "standard", and I prefer original work.

Yes, i know but you awanted me a svg version some time ago.

About letter, you should keep something like yours but with a "sun" like these one to show this is a new message etc... It was to give you ideas to make things look clear

Edit: About achievments i don't think that a list is a good idea
You should re-create something like this on Inkscape
Some examples:

I should probably revive this. I need icons !

For tabs : overview - friends - achievements - edit(or account or something)
Icons for in the yellow bar at the botton : sign in, sign out, profile

And every single achievement should preferable get an icon too.. but I'll give some more info on that later

[tavariz91]

So time has come...



I'm currently looking how to adapt current icons and make them fit with your amazing work.

As I'm a bit slow (Tons and tons of things to do, as always ), I hope to finish that for the 24th september at least. If it's too late, I will try to make it before, but I cannot give any guaranty.

[tavariz91]

Here you are:

Friends

Achievements

Overview (? Need to be tested in game...)

Profile

Sign In

Sign Out

I think you should inset them in game, try them, and give me feedback (I currently cannot compile the game so I cannot see it myself...

Please note: for the settings, I think the "main option" icon is fine.

Hi,

I'm not convinced about "Profile", but Sign in and sign out are cool; achievements is also pretty close, I think to fit better in our icon style it would need slightly thicker lines. "friends" is cute, too

[Uni]

Be sure to paste the icons on a screenshot yourself to see if the colors match. I think the green of the sign in button will give weird contrast.
For the rest, good job!

Hello

Sorry to say that but I'm not convinced at all.

Your icons doesn't fit with our regular style. In other icons arrows aren't rounded.
Just take them as an example.

The achievement icon looks like a ms paint drawing.
That definitely not what I have in mind for 0.9.
Keep things simple please. You can look for example in Google image.

1) achievement
Use a coin like those in supertux. Add a nice ribbon and it will be perfect.
2) friends
The idea is good. However the star in background doesn't look good. IMHO it's better to remove it.
3) profile
Need to be redone
4) sign in and out
Don't use rounded corners. Take the existing back arrow as an example for colors and shape.

As you know I'm right now working on 0.9. We are trying to increase the quality of the game. So if icons are good now it will save our time in the future.

Don't be hopeless or afraid. Making mistakes is an important part of the learning process. Your next icons will be better. I'm sure.

[Totoplus62]

I definitely love this friend icon !
