Art: Research icons

Post by bobucles »

As part of clarifying icons on the game field, I suggest the following changes to the research icons:

Red- A tall, thin, classic science vial.
Green- Keep as is. The rounded potion shape.
Blue- A larger, triangular beaker.
Purple- A large, cylindrical beaker.

The basic idea is to make sure that items stay visually distinct in multiple ways.

Not much else to say.

I think that this would be awesome, and would add a bit of diversity. May I recomend that the blue shape and purple shape are switched? I see a geometric triangle flask as more "alien" for some reason...even though they are more common irl.
