There is also the hypothesis that unfamiliar images aren't as quickly recognized. It may take years of playing SC2 for the bias to disappear. The colors really help the units stand out though.

BW sprites scale better, but I think this is about as good of a concept as we'll get of units that were drawn for 3D and lack textural features. I could try some edge-detection on the sources and cartoonify things (so to speak) before scaling, but there isn't much room to work with in the first place. | ||

We only recognize them because we've seen them over and over again. | ||

Sc2 icons is a debate we don't have them not because tl doesn't have a graphics team but rather becuase, 1 the game isn't finalized 2 not sure if there will be sc2 icons and if so how will it be implemented | ||

and you're icons, though the effort was well placed, do in fact look far more muddled than the icons we have now, and it's not because we're used to them. i know what a muta looks like, but i had a hard time locating it in your lineup. same goes for the scv, archon, etc. the icons were very well made, and it'll take a while to part with them imo, if at all. | ||

I kinda like that idea because I don't wanna see the BW icons go to waste...especially cause judging by those examples the SC2 3d icons aren't really easy on the eyes  . | ||

Might be something weird with my phone. Anyway, I think having an option for SC1 or SC2 icons would be neat - but probably alot of work. I like the nostalgia associated with the SC1 though. | ||

It would be great if an option to the profile was added to let you select which icons you preferred (scbw or sc2). I'm sure a lot of people would really like sc2 icons and the OP of this thread has a great list of icons. this post makes me sad. | ||

Also, it's cool to rank up- so having no icons would suck  . Personally, I think the best option, for the moment at least, is to keep the same icons- for those who don't know BW is still a big game, and an important part of our community. As well, as someone already said, it's a reminder of what started this whole site.To those who don't understand what the icons mean, maybe you should look into the history of Starcraft and Teamliquid. Watch some BW, heck the OSL finals are coming up this weekend. This is a great opportunity to find out about Broodwar, I assure it's not a boring game!! | ||

Even if TL becomes 90% SC2, 10% BW or something, I'd be in favor of keeping the BW icons, if only because that's where the site began. | ||

Hell, even if BW completely died, they'd probably keep the icons for nostalgic purposes. Seriously, can you imagine the outcry if those icons were removed? It won't happen, so don't worry. =) I'm all in favour of us being able to choose either SC2 or BW icons. Only problem is I'd have no idea which to choose. D: (Oh and I have to disagree with Torte de Lini's idea of having subtitles under the icons, IMO that wouldn't look too flash. People can just figure out what the unusual ones look like on their own xD) | ||
