KickStarter We need more buttons

[Skinwalker]

is the only acceptable version

 

[Semiurge]

Tow it away!

Ok so, first foray. I will rework the icons based on the feedback I get. Just make sure you point out what needs fixing in your opinion.

I wanted to give ''informative'' button a shot first.

The current button is 18x18 with 225 colors (therefore non-pixel art).

Note: all the logos below are too big. I know. I'm posting them to know which style you guys would like the most. I'll resize and rework it after.

A.

48x28
This is the one I made. It's 48x28 so it's *probably* too big (since it can't be resized because it'll mess the pixels up).

B.

57x52
This is one is animated and the design is different. I added the ''i'' for informative inside the book. I wasn't sure if I should go for animation or not. Some buttons are animated while others aren't. It's probably way too big as well but I could reduce the size of this one by half I think.

C.

27x20
This one is much smaller but not animated.

So you can say which one you prefer and why and which modification you'd like to be done in order to improve it. Animation or no animation (too distracting?).

What would be the purpose of the book button?

 

[Bah]

What about be the purpose of the book button?

Don't get distracted by the pictures. Try reading the 2nd paragraph.

Some nice art here but honestly I prefer the simplicity of the current button. These are all too busy for such a simple reaction

 

[Zizka]

That's fair, I'll try to simplify it then. Thanks for the feedback.

 

[Tavar]

Also none of them clearly communicate that they stand for "informative". The first one could be "updated my text", for example.

 

[Morenatsu.]

A funny prank would be replacing every button with ‘Button’.

 

[Bah]

For "informative", can you fit a man explaining something to a woman in a 22 pixel high image?

 

[Caim]

What about be the purpose of the book button?

 

[Peachcurl]

A.

B.

C.

A may be more ambiguous, with some overlap with the "updated my txt" meme.
B is very nice (but may need simplification for the later resize anyways).
C meh.

About resizing: the height is certainly more critical than width, since everyone will start whining when some button sticks out of its row "reee, this looks awful", ya know, like that.

 

[Zizka]

Too small.

What would be a good icon to represent ''informative'' then? I like the idea of a book, personally.

I've reduced the size to 20x22:

If there's opposition towards a book being informative, what would be representative then? A light bulb?

 

[Peachcurl]

Style looks good to me, though the two parts of the "i" seem nearly same size, which makes it harder to identify.

Might work as a butthurt replacement: "Colon Handbook".

 

[Zizka]

Ok, more attempts then:

E. Variations of the light bulb idea.

or

F. Reworked book:

[Lady Error]

I thought you wanted to replace the yellow smileys with Codex troll smileys.

The current "informative" button is just fine, don't know why you want to change it.

 

[Cloaked Figure]

is the biden one gone? that one was kinda funny, bring it back

 

[Cloaked Figure]

we need these two as reactions pls

Because he's a self-important, retarded little fuck.

It's for posts like this that the informative button was created.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Zizka you'll have trouble getting people to approve of the informative button change because it's a somewhat standardized button. It would be like trying to get people to remove the floppy from the save button.

A button I always thought was a bit strange is the 'interesting' button, maybe give that one a whack

 

[Zizka]

I quite like the version I've made, I think it's better so I am submitting it as I said I would. Since I'm not getting feedback on what to improve about it I'll move on to the next one.

I'm working on the troll face next. There are quite a few possibilities here. I'm talkinga about the 'funny' button. I started on the left and I'm progressing towards the version on the right. It's 22 pixels high.

Current progress (WIP):

more coming...

At the moment it looks more like a devil than a troll. From what I can tell, the troll mascott has horns so I tried to replicate that. They might be ears however. My plan is to make the jaw larger (sort of orc-like). Once that's done, I'll animate it.

If you'd like it to look differently let me know and I'll do my best to make the requested changes.

 

[Zombra]

Those troll faces are gorgeous ....... but they're too good. Like replacing classic hand puppets with slick CGI. Nobody wants the CGI.

Simple line art drawn in 1/8 second, solid dark red, black dots for eyes. Know your source material.

 

[Morenatsu.]

Can we have a cringe button so I can rate this thread properly?

Actually, I guess we already have one. Nevermind.
