I've decided to create some icons for your StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm shortcut on your desktop. Because original SC2:HotS icon is same as WoL icon, it looks not that nice, when you have similar WoL and HotS icons nearby. Now this problem solved!

All icons supporting every size: from 64x64 to 256x256. For some icons you can see best quality on 64x64 and 128x128 sizes.

On the preview the last four icons was specially done for shortcuts with arrows.

Very nice, thanks, but the Terran and Zerg Icons look so much cooler then the Protoss ones ;(

Terran and Zerg icons was done by blizzard and are taken from game resources (they show your campaign progress) and a bit redesigned to be more nice. The protoss one fully was made by me, because there is no protoss campaign right now

Go to the DevArt page and download the RAR. Select a file from there.
