My fault – should be sorted now!

I like it. Reminds me of the original Elite logo, without being a direct copy.

Some constructive criticism:
The left wing is lower than the right. Also, the lower vertical bar angles by a pixel or two to the left on the top. It's like the whole thing is turned counter clockwise by a little.

thanks for the comments, it needs some work getting all the spacing/geometry right.

Ahoy Commanders

I've created another Oolite logo/icon. If one of you kind soles could upload it to the forum for me so people can check it out.

i wont be able to upload for a few more days.

cheers

p.s. forgot to mention, the design was inspired by a star trek emblem and the cobra image was from the wiki site.

Ah this explains why this thread smells fishy....!

EDIT: here it is, nice image! Weird, Twitpic seems to cut the side out. Have uploaded the original image to my Flickr account.

You were linking to a web page rather than the image itself. I’ve fixed it for you.

My Safari still doesn't display it. I had to follow the link.

Looks like the direct link on that site expires after a while...
Commander Matt, there's a couple of sites that specialise in hosting pictures, and they do it for free.

I tend to use imageshack, but it's just one option amongst many.

By the way, nice as these last icons are, I believe they need to be still looking good, and hopefully recognisable as the same images, at 16 by 16 pixels. I'm not sure some of these qualify...

Before I forget, I just noticed that my 'cheesy' comment seems to be about an icon. It was actually directed at JazHaz's 'fishy' comment, before he added the image to his post.

something else than a bird.

How about uber abstract?

I like the last, geometrical icon.

I picked 7 icons I think best and resized them to 64 x 64 px along with current one for comparison:

From that selection, KZ 4 is the clearest (and best) at that size.
