Smoky and Tesla Icons


Recommended Posts

---------------->Protection from TeslaProtection from Smoky<----------------

I didn't notice this until now, and it should be pretty self explanatory. Tesla's new icon is just Smoky's icon but with the outline colored.

I suggest a simple fix for this.

Seeing as Smoky's Critical Damage is no longer Smoky's specialty(Since every turret does critical damage now), I suggest removing the lightning bolt and giving it to Tesla, then making it blue.

As for Smoky, I suggest something similar to Thunder and Magnum, or perhaps something smoke related.

Personally, I like the icon of smoky, so I don't want it to be changed, but it would be good to have an other type of icon for tesla.

The old Flash icons were a real representor for a wargame. Now in HTML5 the turrets icons are looking flat and soft following the vogue of flatting the designs (like the old-new Instagram icons), it works for all of the apps, but not for a wargame like Tanki?

Simplistic icons are easy to notice when quickly scanning the interface of the game, sure you can give them more details but is it necessary when they only serve as quickly dissapearing indicators? 

About Smoky's icon, I think it would be appropriate to change it because as said critical shots are no longer a signature ability of Smoky. However I wouldn't know what kind of icon we can expect because now that all turrets can inflict critical hits there is literally nothing special about it anymore ?

The color are totally different, so invalid idea... :ph34r:

Tanki let us down on that one, but i would rather have a badass turret concept and a meh icon than the reverse. And don't ask about the flavourless module name...

The symbol is also used for the hunter overdrive logo Icon_overdrive_electromagnetic_pulse.png

Talking about half done work, there is 3 overdrives with the same logo: Icon_overdrive_supplies_overload.png

welp...?‍♂️

Hmm, just saw the icon of telsa. I think it's completely different from the smoky one, i couldn't confuse them.

Yeah its kinda in the wiki too. Just click the arrow next to "turrets" and you'll see it.

True, the lightning bolt for Smoky was nostalgic, but I don't see the Devs reversing the critical damage update ever, so I figured Smoky should get a new icon. The lightning bolt just doesn't make sense for Smoky now, and I hate that I have to say that.

How about a bullet design?

Well the critical mechanism for smoky is still unique.

That would work too, I'm up for any idea for Smoky. A bullet would make sense.
