Icon ideas - Mudbill - 09-01-2014

Heeeeeeyyyy.

I, like, want to design an icon for that mod loader app I have, but I have no idea what concept I should use. I usually feel like I can do icons pretty well, but I just can't seem to come up with an idea that is simple but also easily recognizable and informative.

Right now it just uses the default Amnesia icon and I kinda wanna move away from those graphics. What I'll want is some sort of icon that can represent a mod loader/game launcher/modded game. But what represents a mod loader? Any ideas?

How about a gear with the A from the Amnesia Logo in front of it? Smile

You could even grab one of the gears from the editor and use that!

Perhaps. But is a cogwheel best suited? Those are mostly used for settings/configs/tools. I guess it could work.

How about boxes then. As in packed files of custom maps.

I was thinking that too... A box with an eye on it, or an open box with an eye symbol rising out of it...?

Launcher also makes me think of rockets. An Amnesia 'A' with a rocket plume, taking off?
