"Sacred Trust" Icon Set

[Sir Humphrey]

I am working on a graphics update (named Sacred Trust) for vanilla, and was wondering if anyone is interested in this particular style of icon; would be interested in it?



Mostly British icons have been done, with a few French and German icons done was well. A work in progress if you will, so that each model of unit can be seen what type it is just by looking at the picture (except maybe infantry ). Any thoughts?

I like it, it's very... realistic. Real pictures, black and white. Gives me the feel for the era. I'd definately consider using these!

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Wellt thanks, I was sort of a bit tired of the illustration fad that seems to be going round at the moment and thought, why not, why not go for real, old school B&W pictures.

They look great Sir Hunphrey, but I'm a bit worried I won't be able to tell what any of the units are.

Whoops , I did not relalize that it was two images. o

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Also done a whole heap of Naval ones as well, however they are, like the other 90% of the icons, a work in progress.

REALLY GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very nice!! They would be even nicer if you made the icons 88x44 instead of 44x44.

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Trouble is though if they are 88x44, then it stuffs up the strength and org bars and makes it look quite messy, as some of the early ship icons did.

Ah, very good!

I'd use them, as I don't really like the original pictures or icons, and these actually look "period" and fit in with the ministers and events pictures!

ah well, 44x44 is also good!!!

You could make tons of icons packs for alot of countries?? Have you planned on doing that??

Very nice Humpey ... just one question what are you going to do for the 'unmade' crafts (ie. British SHBB, Italian carrier or Polish turbojet CAS?).

I eventually plan to do it for all nations, but in conjunction with my AAR, I will concentrating on all the important nations involved, and then spread out.

That is a question I have yet to find an answer to, though I suppose it might require the use of photoshop.

Of course.

[Sir Humphrey]

IS anyone interested? Otherwise I might as well bin the whole project.
