Default [ICONSET] Gyrocopter


[ICONSET] Gyrocopter


  • The current iconset does not represent the spells very well.

  • The current iconset is overused and a bit too simple.





BLACKSPACE

Source : BTNGunFire - Warcraft 3 Icons

Credits : Taken from many icons across the threads in the visual suggestions.

  • The gattling gun icon from the first spell is replaced by the more suiting spamming multiple rockets icon.

  • The too simple looking homing missile is replaced with a bad ass one.

  • The suggested third spell icon suits the yellow shots from the in-game projectile for Flak Cannons and shows multiple cannons firing.

  • The ultimate shows two bombs falling from the sky.

Well it is better than the current since that one is totally overused.

E: Your first double post also? Guess not.

It represents the skill well but the problem is that the other ones are not well detailed as this one.

If i can i will try to find other icons to make the whole iconset better.

How about this one as a whole set ? Looks wicked.





Not mine. Taken from other threads anyway.


There are many problems with current icon set. They don't suit the spells although they are not bad. But many of the heroes got very cool iconsets from last few versions so why not Gyro ?

- The first spell icon shows a gatling gun while the spell is all about spamming rockets.
- The third spell icon shows shrapnels instead of cannon fire.

Remove the two small missiles from the first, and flip it.

Yeh, but they represents the spells nicely.

I think someone can make the ulti missiles more bigger and fatty so they look different and stronger from the first one.

Default Re: [ICONSET] Gyrocopter

I found two icons that could fit as ultimate icon.



How about these ?

The first one stands apart from the iconset as the ultimate and show the crosshair of bomb fall. This icon could use some more editing and detailing with some transparent fire.

The second one is better and more epic. (But too epic?)

Or the current one is better ?

Decent, but needs editing and theming.

Default Re: [ICONSET] Gyrocopter

Or what about changing the first spell icon instead of the ultimate ?


Make these rockets twist and turn and go in random directions after making them small ? Also increase rocket numbers to suit the plenty of rockets with minor damage ?

Good idea ?

It's actually awesome, aside from the ulti looking almost identical to Barrage. Although I think there's a Homing icon somewhere I like better.

Maybe put an explosion behind the ultimate rockets or something? Idk really.

Shut up. It's well known you've got absolutely no taste in icons.
