Favourite C&C Profile Icons Updated Again

[Sonic 296]

As you have seen before you can display your favourite C&C game by selecting in your profile. This results in the game icon being displayed below you name/avatar when you post something. Previously these icons were 16px X 16px, some of them were hard to see so they have been doubled in size to 32px by 32px.

 

If you don't see the new versions and the icons look small or blurry you may need reload/refresh the page your on.

They look good.

 

Nice job Sonic.

[G0NE2W4R 0]

Yea, I like the new ones.

[BioBen 3]

Yeah Ra3 was tiny. all good now

[Sonic 296]

That's basically why I made them bigger. Some of the newer ones looked like blobs. Especially the new look RA3 icon.

[Inferno 22]

They're much more noticable now! Thanks Sonic.

i noticed you used the 256 colours icon for RA1

[Sonic 296]

Its the original icon directly from the Red Alert CD.

 

I'm thinking of changing them to better icons, some of the older ones don't look that good.

[Gben 20]

Oh man I can't recall where - but I remember someone made a whole bunch of winxp icons for C&C. Maybe you can use those?

But yeah the new ones look great Sonic.

While I liked the changes I made to the Favourite C&C icons for forums profiles I wasn't happy with how some of the older C&C icons looked so I've redone them all once again. They bigger this time and looks way better, sharper and cleaner. All of them a previewed below.

 

 

There is an alternate RA3 icon, but I went with the Premier Edition colour scheme instead.

 

 

As you can see a majority of are based on the box art of each game, with a few minor exceptions here and there.

Mind if I use these icons as well in my (somewhat secret) Thursday announcement? That way I can visualize what the games are.

[Sonic 296]

Quick update, had to make the icons smaller, the 100x100 icons were spacing each forum post out way to far.

Yeah, was just about to say that. They look really good.

[Inferno 22]

Just a suggestion to make the Firestorm box this one, to make it more different from the C&C3 one:

 

[G0NE2W4R 0]

I prefer the icons rather than the box arts. I think it's more natural.

[Sonic 296]

Like I said, I didn't like how some of the icons looked, a few of the older game icons looked chunky.

[TheBlackOut 7]

I don't like how they go under the text instead of to the side of them like before. I turned my off because I found them annoying, any way to do that for the whole forum?

[Nmenth 291]

The icons are too small to read the box art titles...

 

<- Especially Yuri's Revenge...

Mistake on my part, I've changed the coding so its all one line now.

I think your missing the point. You can still tell which icon represents each game. Its a quick visual reference, you don't need to be able to read the text on them. They were 100 x 100 when I first added them but they were to big. It was almost like everyone had 2 avatars.

 

Also, which RA3 icon should be used. The red one or premier edition one...

Ok, if that's the point, but I thought if they had text, it should at least be readable.

 

I prefer the red one, it looks more like a game, the Premier art looks like a person.

[Sonic 296]

Text should be readable yes, but when you only have 50 x 50 pixels to work with its a bit difficult.

[Duke 0]

Well to be honest I liked the *old* icons you had that were only 16x16 or whatever.
