VERY SRS

HEY DUDE HEY DUDE

I've been considering Devit's icons for awhile. I AM UNDECIDED. But I'm leaning towards something much less colorful. I love Aviy's style tho' so I'm not sure. THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.

I started playing around in PS and wanted OPINIONS so take a second to vote and love meeee!

[Poll #1318265]

SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS IN THE--COMMENTS--ARE ENCOURAGED AND WELCOME!!!

eta IN THE END, AFTER ALL THAT I might go with something red instead

yeah devit why are you so gay

I think closer to a gray-blue tone would look nicer, but I'm also kinda gay for the color blue, so.

Alternatively just rainbow them up like Shuri's.

Hi. Not that I have a ton of stock in your icons but pleeeeasssse don't take out the pattern.

Oftentimes, I think people's icons need more pattern or something other than just a gradient/solid color. And you have this fantastic pattern to work with so it would make me sad if you nixed it.

I like the closer crops, too! And the color thing doesn't really bother me either way, but I like the warm gray, I think, more than the blue. Though it's not a bad blue so that's a personal decision thing. It also took me a long time to figure out the difference between the grays.

SO. in short. Love the pattern, you could do almost anything else you wanted to with them.


....Sorry. I get into design stuff. Uh.

I like the gradient in the back of the original image, well, how small the dots are at least, it makes the icon look less busy while keeping it from looking empty.

Having trouble seeing the differences between 2,3, and 5 set and the 4 and 6 set. They must be pretty slight.

I really like the color on the icons, the gray ones just look so flat D: So possibly some color by on a lower fill/opacity. However, I am a HUGE fan of the gradient backgrounds because I feel it's overall less distracting to the eye. NOT THAT YOUR ICONS DO THIS but sometimes the patterns on icons can get too busy so it's hard to focus on the character and I feel like gradients are great for making sure the eye recognizes that "HEY, YOU SEE THIS HOMO HERE? HE IS THE ONE YOU WANT TO LOOK AT."

And . . . yes. That's my opinion. :|b

I prefer the second red one! It has more depth to it? The pattern in the background is less distracting and the colour is such that we're noticing what's in the icon too.

I like the second red one too, mostly for the pattern in the background. TO SEPARATE MYSELF FROM RENA in opinion though, while the color is 'deeper' than the first one, it's also kind of brighter? I dunno, I've always been a fan of keeping my blacks black, or at least dark. I liked how your current set- while being blue, was definitely dark, so I might appreciate the color on the first one more as it seems more 'dark', but it also seems kind of faded, which I don't care for much but that's just my taste. :/

THIS AUDIENCE MEMBER WISHES FOR YOU TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL ICONS!

But if you really must change it, the second red icon seems nicer. It's the one that catches my eye the most out of all of the others (but I like the background on the first one better).

I dunno, I still like the grays, but of the reds, the first one gets my vote.
