The main problem, that I think you tried to fix with #2 and #6, and Moros tried to fix with the logo, is that the image doesn't fit the dimensions of the icon. So I prefer 2.

Overall I like 6, but I wonder if when you scale it down to app size it will be hard for the casual/new user to identify what they are looking at. It's easy here on the computer... just for snorts and giggles maybe try inverting the land masses to white and darkening up the water a shade to make the contrast between the 2 "pop".

Well, you just keep improving it...

Number 6 is now my favorite because the texture in the background makes it more interesting, but it's very close.

I've got no idea what could improve it now...

I still don't like it. We've heard others' opinions on the new icons, but I'd like to hear yours Fizzer. What the hell is up with the black territories? This to me represents either that we're moving to black territories instead of grey ones, or that it's false advertising. I feel like the grey is so much better, because it sells the brand, because it represents what WL actually IS. My biggest problem with games and stuff these days is when you see the previews, and it's like "Actual Game Footage" and it's a cutscene. That's what I feel like you're doing here. It's not actual false advertising, but it does feel like a sleight of hand.

Ok...that last post didn't come across how I planned. I didn't mean to sound inflammatory, demanding, or accusatory. I'm simple confused as to the reason for the color change. It seems to me that either the Grey should be used as it represents the actual game, or you're conceding that the black territories looks better. If it is indeed more appealing, then it seems like you're saying WL currently looks sub-par, and therefor should be updated in the same way.

^^ that is why I suggested an icon of medium earth. Isn't wl all about medium earth?

Medium is for competitive, but Small is easier to see and shows the roots.

I disagree Eagle, it doesn't mean warlight looks sub-par (in my opinion) - it's great to have the grey simplicity for actual gameplay, I think graphically the game is right - but if this icon is for the app, it should surely be as attractive as possible to attract new players.
(You may be right about the 'sleight of hand' though)

6th one looks best and i think whichever one is chosen the word warlight should be shown.

How about this one?

Obviously needs lots of tweaking as I used a terrible resolution picture of the WL letters, but it's an idea.

I like the idea of Moros' design, but obviously it would have to be made sleeker. Out of Fizzer's choices, my favourite is 6. He seems to just be improving them as he goes along :D

I think the best idea would be a small section of 6 (like in Moros' design) with the WL logo. It seems strange (agreeing with Min34 here) to have no text on the icon. Not being a designer or any kind of expert with any graphical software I can't illustrate what I mean (which frustrates me a lot :D)To me having no text seems like having a screenshot of the game; not an icon. With text the picture looks less like a (false?) screenshot of the game and more like an icon.

All the icons from 2 up are very aesthetically pleasing though; good job Fizzer!

To respond to the issue of having no text on the icon:

All apps (at least for android devices) have the title of what the app is anyway, so have no text on it should not be an issue.

I know that Noobschool but having no text on the icon (or at least some sort of logo) makes the icon seem 'amateur' for want of a better word. The icon should feature something similar to my/Moros' idea because at the moment the icon isn't really a logo.

I like 2 the best still; it catches the eye the best.

The first one is fine, but I like the third one the most. 2,4,5 & 6 are too bright and have too much contrast; they look a bit cheap to me. Or maybe it's that particular hue of blue (esp. in 4 & 5).

The only app that I use that has its name in its icon is Kindle. Look at Twitter, Facebook, all of Google's apps, all of Apple's apps -- none of them put the app's name in the icon. You're calling all of these companies amateur?

That's basically what #1 is. But I'm thinking something along these lines too, as the black landmasses really don't stand out when viewed on a device. You can barely see them:

In #7, I tried inverting the colors - light landmasses on dark background. I'm not sure I like the icon more when viewed large, but it's *much* more recognizable that it's the Earth when viewed small (like on a phone.) I also reduced the horizontal size of the frame so that the map could be made slightly bigger. What do you guys think?

Maybe u should consider making an separate logo or a simpler one letter or word icon that will be more noticeable. As the icon is now it has too many details for such a small size and the blue won't show enough on darker backgrounds.

On device #7 looks pretty good.

I took my Ipod and looked how many games had names on it (WL also is a game, not a social network that is world famous) 12/56 had their names on it, but the names are indeed also under it. I, myself, prefer it with a name, but without is ofc ok and very acceptable.
