Pretty cool symbols. I am wondering; how often do you make artwork like this? If you are interested, I might have some work for you in my own mod and projects, aside from ROTR (as they largely got a lot of things covered for now.) PM me on skype, comrade.crimson if interested or on my email, comradecrimson@hotmail.com

Thanks ComradeCrimson, some interest coming from someone as talented as you are always welcome... I used to do stuff like this very often one or two years ago until my desktop pc suffered a lightning problem, hehe. I will send you a mail, I'm really interested in do something just for not loose practice...

ECA-Russia RotR Generals icons:

Russia Advanced Weapons


Russia Rapid Deployment


Russia Tactical Ballistics


ECA Fire Support


ECA Royal Guard


ECA Mechanized Assault


One of the things I love most is having customized icons for every folder and app on my laptop, so maybe I will be uploading a few of my own icons soon and perhaps taking some commissions...

I was also wondering, what's with the "scan lines"?

Posted by: ComradeCrimson 21 Jul 2016, 20:21

If I had to guess, its so it fits in with UI's and so forth. I've seen similar things in other games; typically its meant for a sort of video screen effect. I for one like it, its another attention to detail that fits well with these sort of things.

That's exactly what I was looking for, these images are meant to be used like OS icons and the effect are optimized for his visualization in less larger sizes. I recognize in a larger size the effect are kinda annoying. I will reupload the images as soon as I can with a more lighter texture, simmilar to the used in the following images, so tell me if the next ones looks more pleasant to the eyes...

Generals: Zero Hour

Im actually sad I didnt get to see this when it was first posted to say how awsome it was!

How long do making theese take?

Well, the original ZH symbols took me a few hours to vectorize, and the ROTR generals were very easy to do since all of them use parts of their main faction icon as you can see. The russian and european ones took me a little bit more time since all of them are more uniques.

I will reorganize the previous post to upload the ZH originals icons, and the ROTR main factions here.

ECA

European Continental Alliance icon

ECA

Russian Federation icon

ECA/Russia

Mixed ECA/Russia logo used as ROTR launcher icon

That mixed Rus-ECA logo is awesome

Posted by: re_simeone 12 Aug 2016, 15:43

They should do that thing with mixing Russia's and ECA's logos for launcher icon when 2.0 arrives somewhere in 2020s.

Im sure the hight tech holograms will have something else we can use. Till then tho, im using the ECA/Russia Mix

Posted by: M.P 12 Aug 2016, 23:57

I believe if you remove the Russian star out of the ECA field it'll look better, give it a try

Posted by: CheoRock 14 Aug 2016, 0:50

Thanks, and there you have it!


And for those who are lazy or don't know how to convert this images on icons i will upload here icon files (for Windows and OSX) for this symbol, and the ECA and Russian ones.
