    Hers is an update to those infuser things.. let me know if the bottom set would fit better.

    Cheers!

    P.S. the link in the post above mine sends me to an error 404.. what image were you referring to?

    Edit: is this the link you wanted to post?.. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...ng_Sample1.jpg

    If so, they already have this icon, I'm not sure if they will use it, but it currently is not used in-game. My reasoning behind this was to give the 'ARKS' something to say thanks, weather Funcom puts it in game or not is beyond my control. but it's made, and they have it, so let's cross our fingers.

    last elements made (flesh, fgrid) were cool especially alb/db bracer/hud/utils !
    always found sad such great items (among best you can get IG) had almost all the same 4/5 icons.

    list of utils sharing same icon:
    http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search...=Nano+Enhancer
    & http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search&type=1&name=Tuner

    list of bracer sharing same icon:
    http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search...ancient+bracer
    & http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search...brigade+bracer

    hope that help to see if different versions/states need separate icon (or not : e.g. all improved bracer states don't necessarely need a different pic, maybe only last one).

    Power of the muscle shares the bracers icon too, would be nice to see that having its own icon

    I'm not sure what the Power of the Muscle is, auno.org's DB does not seem to have it, but it brought up an image in my mind of a bracer with muscle like tentacles that reach up the forearm and intertwine with your own muscles.. this is what I came up with, do you think it would fit?..

    A bit more twining of them and it'll be great, but also with a bit of tech stuff thrown in... it is AO after all perhaps something to give the idea that it's synthetic muscle.

    Personally I think most of the new infuser icons you have all look very alien. This may in part have to do with the greenish hue to them but then again I'm not sure what color would be better. Maybe a red or brown hue instead but even that may not look right.

    Regardless still a big fan of the new shiny stuff you've made so far so keep up the good work.

    Daaaaamn! So this is the guy to blam... I mean thank for the recently appearing sweetness of new and very clear icons. Or at least some of them, since after reading through the whole thread, I did not find examples for the new composite nano icons, so maybe someone else is to blam.. I mean thank for those. (Although, it looks like composite melee and physical special expertise (or whatever they were called, can't check right now) got their icons swapped).

    Huge big thanks for Doc, and a small shake towards FC for indeed not doing the same years ago.

    Been busy last day (as soon as I found out there were new backpacks) on shuffling my items (loooooots of them) to new bags. And while doing that, came to think about a few more backpack icons. First the obvious "missing" ones:

    * fire (since there is "cold" already)
    * nanopoints (there is medical that covers treatment and first aid, but some bag should have the same blue plus-sign with that blue lightning(?) as in http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=25821)
    * combined health and nano (even if not used so often, there are those stims/things that give both HP and NP simultaneously; and they are somewhat harder to come by, which means one needs to stack on them, which means bag(s). http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=154272 http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=267773 http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=231395.)
    * nuts and/or bolts (we have "tools" bag, but only "gear" bag for the items to use the tools on? At least perennium stuff http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=226021 comes to my mind.)
    * biohazard symbol (for alien biomat, monster parts, ...)
    * tower (that is, the pvp tower field towers)

    Tradeskillers at least have lots of stuff to be sorted out, the AO tradeskilling & economy & storage systems being what they are.

    Then some other bags:
    * book (maybe a bit difficult to do in the single-color theme used so far)
    * info (the classic tourist-style 'i'-letter but on blue background (tourist-info is typically green))
    * key (not too many keys in AO? Degrade your memory to my level and try finding 4 bags of IS passes in a full bank. This would cover nicely also the SL garden "keys".)
    * buff (like medical "+" but without the medical red/white color scheme)
    * money! ($, should be obvious. While credits are not concrete things, I'd dump certain pearls into these and the ready filigree rings, since they will end up into shop terminal for credits via friendly highbie trader anyway.)

    Then some social:
    * wineglass/bottle/... (something for my Atrox' drinks/glasses/bottles)
    * sunglasses/eyeglasses/... (something for my opifex fixer's style)
    * drama/theater mask (the famous thing with one side sad, one side happy; maybe too difficult to the small size of the mini-icon)
    * joker hat
    * shoes/boots (I'm sure all the ladies will buy at least one shoe-mule bank full of these).

    Couple of my alts already have like 15 bags of social stuff... Thanks to FC's seasonal gifts and some quite fun outfits.

    One unique backpack missing own icon is the "Smart backpack" from Jobe training http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=223770. I think I've already accidentally lost one due to el cheapo standard icon it has. Could not quickly find any "Jobe" logo or such, but if found, the "Bracer of Jobe" http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=223762 might like it stamped on it.

    I don't remember if these were already mentioned, but alien augmentation devices seem to share the icon. Ready ones are especially pain in the butt, since they are unique, and juggling them between people gets messy when you can't easily see which of them are already held by whom. http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search...n+augmentation

    Thanks again for the absolutely awesome work already done.

    I saw the thread, figured oh look another fan doing cool stuff that will never actually find it's way into AO.

    Surprise surprise. Was this ever mentioned in a Friday with Means, did it even make a footnote in patch notes?

    Keep up the good work Doc and kudos to FunCom for embracing your fans like this.

    Not that I am aware of, and ever since they got in-game I've been watching the Friday with Means hoping for a mention of my icons,.. even a line in the patch notes like -More new icons from Docaholic have been inserted into this patch. would be nice.

    But alas, I'll have to remain content with being 'almost famous' LOL

    Truth be told, I'm just glad to any of my icons in-game,.. my prize icons have got to be the new arul saba gems. now sorting is so much easier, and the new backpacks help too.

    Cheers!

    EDIT: P.S. here are 10 additional backpacks I did, let me know what you think,.. if they are community approved I'll send them to Means in game format.

    Some of those are nice, some are hard to see (at least for me).
    I like the bio hazard icon, though perhaps make it yellow/orange instead of green?
    The tower bag (far right) is particularly hard to see in that pic.

    Agreed; the omni insignia also suffers from the same problem. Maybe use a lighter shade of red as background for those?

    Ooh nice! But indeed as others already mentioned, some of the color combinations do have contrast problems. Lighter red backround might work with the two, but that biohazard's green is notorious for being blurry with almost everything (except maybe black); might try different color for that sign or darker/less "neon" green.

    Have to admit the insignia backpacks had popped in my mind earlier, but forgot from that list in the end. Will come handy, considering that some of my toons have like 10 bags of insignias stored in some obscure bags.

    The theater mask idea I had was a bit different, but that one is just as good, and my idea would probably had been just pixel mess in that scale.

    For flames i was thinking an even more symbolic sign (only two "flames" on it, but can't find an example on net), but that one is definitely clear enough.

    Other than the few contrasts, I like them.
