Those small ones look great. I'd be a little wary over the fact that the artillery, rocket and hand to hand symbols all look fairly similar, especially the tilted ones, but they're easy enough to discern when looking at them close together.

I'm digging these, especially the small ones, and plan to star using them. Post-literacy, hooooo!

Noticed that, awesome sauce! Minor issue but it looks like the d8 dice are kinda squished. Most noticeable on the SSR icon. d8Rr but also when you look at, say the Gd8 d8G compared to the Gd6 d6G

Yeah, if I have to go back and rebuild those to fit, I certainly can. But I was hoping to have them a little wider than the d6's, hence the weirdness.

I'll see what I can do to correct that...

Surface of a given 45° turned square in a similar sized upright square is lower. Retaining original surface size makes the x/y dimensions larger. Oh the dilemma of slanted squares.

Nevertheless, two things Soren: Would you mind redoing them in 25x25 px and flip the Movement one horizontally so the orientation lines up with the other icons? Or, if schoon would just use the small images I posted up earlier, if that's to your liking ...? Right now, these massive smileys are oddly sized. As in, too big for regular use - at least that's what I'd say.

I should go in and thicken up some lines, if we're going to do them that small. So as not to invite the suck and illegibility.

Other alterations - yeah, why not. I don't particularly care one way or another.

Those are perfectly legible to me at 1920x1080 on a 24" screen.

I converted them with photoshop and the renderer is actually fairly good at preserving detail when resizing. Nevertheless, your art, your call, Soren! :)

I'm talking about going back in Illustrator and tightening up the icons - it's actually going pretty fast.

EDIT: And done.

Huzzah!

The only persistant problem(s): d8G d6G are facing right, whereas the other dice all face left. And the d8G is squeezed. :(

Edit: And the images are still large, so nevermind me, apparently, the new ones aren't up yet. :D

I don't know what the go is here, but I can now see the smaller smilies but the d8s are still squished and the Green is still oriented wrong. Yet when they get used in posts they are still coming out huge.

Have the new ones been implemented yet or have the thumbnails just been resized?
